It was believed that even numbers are unlucky.

<u> Explanation: </u>

It is an old superstitious belief that even numbers are unlucky. In respect of the same superstition, a gun salute is set off odd numbers.

It is a gesture of bestowing great honor on a significant individual. Since long back in history, symbolism has been denoted to every numerical known. Hence, firing a gun for a certain of an odd number of times symbolizes varied kinds of respect in every country.

Some countries fire shots 21 times because number seven is sacred and lucky. Hence 7 \times 3 = 21.

The President is often thought to be the leader of whatever party they are a member of, giving them a tremendous amount of power when it comes to the raising of money as they are the top draw.

So, a President can use campaign funding as a stick and a carrot to get members of Congress to vote a particular way.

If the member in Congress is in the opposition, they are out of luck.
