Answer 1

Answer:

Pass

Explanation:

In the House of Representatives, if 197 out of 199 Republicans vote in favor of a bill, and 22 out of 235 Democrats vote in favor of it, will the bill pass or fail?

In the House of Representative, 218 votes are needed to pass a bill i.e if the bill passes by simple majority of 218 out of 435( the current numbers of representative in the house)

Therefore if 197 republican and 22 democrats vote in favor of a bill, the bill will be passed because the number tally is 219 which is slight over the require number to pass a bill.
