for Republicans to get any of their agenda done, they need 8 Democratic Senators to pass anything in the Senate.
e.g tax reform, another extension for the debt ceiling, harvey/irma hurricane relief, military reauthorization, etc.
so Schumer and Pelosi can literally add any amendments to any bill that Republicans want to pass.
