59 Yea's minus those seven votes means Noem is still Secretary of Homeland Security. W_HAMILTON Jan 2026 #9

So they didn't have to? They just wanted to? Iggo Jan 2026 #11

Their vote didn't ultimately matter, which is the point. W_HAMILTON Jan 2026 #13

That's what I mean. If their vote didn't matter, then why didn't they vote against? Iggo Jan 2026 #14
