    "content": "It was a gentleman’s decision in the House where this House agreed - and I will give you an example - which this House agreed that for us to assist each other in passing Bills, it would be nice if we had 24 Senators. I remember this very well; that a decision not to sit in the House and vote is a decision by itself. The Constitution anticipated that 24 Senators would be needed to pass or require Senate’s intervention. It will be defeated if you decided that you are going to get 24 Senators. The Senate Minority Leader has become a master of contradiction which even President Obama said. In the case of Kiala’s decision which was done in this Chamber, I moved that we did not need the 24 threshold. The Senate Minority Leader, Sen. Hassan and Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale supported me. It is on record of the HANSARD . The argument was that at that point in time, most of the Jubilee Senators walked out, CORD Senators who were in the House, including myself and a few of us in the Jubilee side, wanted to save Kiala ."
