Default Re: How Is Death Sentenced?

Good point about the supermajority. In some states, for example, a supermajority is required in both legislative chambers for a tax increase to pass. For example, California requires a supermajority in both legislative houses for a tax increase to pass. This is to make it harder to pass an increase and force legislators to try and cut spending. I'm not sure if the supermajority rule in California is 60%+ or 2/3+, however.
