Absences could have flipped it Apr 17, 2026 · House #122Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 8035) to amend the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 to extend the authoritie…On Ordering the Previous Question · H.Res. 1175
It passed 211–210 with 7 Republicans and 3 Democrats not voting. The losing side was one vote short and 3 of its members didn't vote: with them it would have failed 211–213. But the winning side's absences offset that: with everyone there, the result would have stood (218–213).
