Then that's what you should have said. But you still would have been
wrong.

If you have one more vote than the opposition, then you have a
majority. The time-honored practice of the president pro tem voting to
break a tie ensures that the presidential party will have a majority.

Beware people who say things like "true majority". The adjective is
trying to write a new definition.

Do you also peddle "real facts"?
