Direct answer: As of the latest reporting, reopening the House-passed funding bill to end the government shutdown required a simple majority vote to pass in the House, followed by the Senate’s approval and the President’s signature. The House vote to reopen typically needed more than half of those present and voting, and in this period the final action to reopen involved the House approving a Senate-passed funding package by a majority, after which the President signed it into law. The specific number of votes in the House for that moment was 222 yeas to 209 nays in one reported instance, which reflected party-line dynamics and some cross-aisle votes. This set of votes enabled the funding package to become law and the government to resume operations.
