The Speaker of the House asks the Representatives who support the bill to say “aye” and  “no'. He asks those Representatives who support the bill to stand and be counted, and those who oppose, to stand and be counted. Representatives record their vote using the electronic voting system. Representatives can vote yes, or no. If a majority of the Representatives say yes, the bill passes in the U.S. House of Representative.
