Under the nation's watchful eye, it could be seen that the Speaker of the House took to the stage on the big screen, announcing the formal start of the vote on the aid bill for Country W.
The next second, vote counts began to appear on the massive screen hanging in the House of Representatives.
At first, the votes for and against were essentially even, but as time passed, a gap began to emerge.
In just three minutes, the number of votes in favor of passing the bill exceeded 200.
And when it reached 217 votes, countless hearts across the nation tensed up, because as soon as the number of votes in favor hit 218, it meant that no matter what happened, the bill would definitely pass the House.
However, there were no surprises to follow; the votes in favor not only surpassed 218 but stopped only when they reached 296.
"Alas, it passed after all."
"Not just passed, but passed with an overwhelming majority; it looks like there won't be any surprises in the Senate either."
