From DecaturDaily.com:
When four Democrats announced Monday they were switching to the Republican Party, the move also signaled that Republicans can pass any bill they want and Democrats can’t stop them.
The reason is that the party switch means the House has 66 Republicans, a “supermajority” that gives them the votes needed to pass or block any legislation they want. With Democratic Party ranks reduced to 39 in the House, their numbers are too small to block bills or pass their own if all Republicans vote together.
