@speakerboehner Mr. Speaker, why did 174 House GOP, including yourself, vote for the sequester, if it's so bad for the U.S.? #p2 #uniteblue

The bill required a simple majority of votes (218) to pass. Here's the breakdown of the roll call vote: 174 Republicans voted 'aye' and 66 voted 'no'. 95 House Democrats voted 'aye', and the same number voted 'no'.
