Congressional Math (Part 2)

Dear Mr. President,

Today, I saw you talk to the press. You claimed that you had the votes to pass the Healthcare repeal. You further claimed that one of your members was in the hospital.

Please allow me to make some corrections and help you with math. First, Senator Cochran (R-Mississippi) was not hospitalized. He was home and could travel. Secondly, I know math is hard. So, let me help you.

You needed a minimum of 50 votes on the Senate. Senators Cruz, McCain, and Collins said they will be voting "No." Let me do the math for you. 52 Senators minus 3 Senators equals 49 Senators. That is less than the 50 votes needed.
See easy

Signed,
An Informed Citizen.
