This is a little pedantic, but ratify isn’t the right term here. That’s usually reserved for treaties or constitutional amendments and reflects, I think, a certain level of finality. I think “passed into law” has a different meaning, and it will still need to go to the Senate even if it passes the House this coming week.
I think the reason I’m being pedantic is because this is only a bill that has *passed* and therefore it would only require a simple majority to rescind. Democrats need to be held to the fire on it, if this passes into law, if/when they win back the houses.
According to the article, it has not been ratified yet, but will be voted on this coming week.
