He will definitely have to violate the Hastert Rule here, but again he did many times before to pass shit that this country needs. Also one very important aspect here is that in the house is that we do not need 218 votes, we just need more yeas than nays, so unlike the senate and filibuster a member not voting doesn't count against us.
