9. Ah, I see.

I guess he wanted to stick around long enough to cast his no vote on hcr. What a patriot. :eyes:

12. The number of members influences how many votes needed

to pass the bill. He hung around until after the vote so that 216, rather than 215 were required to pass HCR.

Actually, now that I think about it, he wanted to resign a while back but the Republicans nixed that just in case they needed him.
