Question 21 pts
(Q002) During the government shutdown, Republicans held the majority in the Senate but had fewer than 60 votes. What prevented them from passing the spending bill?
Group of answer choices
Spending bills must have a two-thirds majority to be passed.
Democrats refused to proceed with the bill, and since it takes 60 votes to invoke cloture and stop debate, they could filibuster the bill to stop its passage.
President Trump argued that the bill must be bipartisan, or he would veto it.
President Trump was unable to convince Senate Republicans to compromise, so Republicans pulled the bill.

Question 31 pts
(Q003) Suppose Republicans and Democrats in the Senate had agreed to a compromise bill that included some of what both parties wanted but that this bill now differed from the spending bill passed by the House. What would have to happen for the compromise bill to become law?
Group of answer choices
President Trump would need to sign the bill he preferred; the original House bill, or the compromise Senate bill.
Nothing; Senate bills take precedence over House bills, so the Senate bill would go to the President.
The Senate bill would have to go back to the House, and the House would have to vote again to accept the Senate’s changes.
The Supreme Court would need to intervene to determine which changes are constitutional and which are not.
