Question

i saw on the news that representative flüg flügelson will be voting on the American highways improvement act and bill being debated in Congress. As a member of Congress he must be in the Senate which means he will also vote on whether to approve the presidents nominee for the supreme court. Which of the following best expresses the flaw in the reasoning above?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The flaw in the reasoning is that the statement assumes that Representative Flüg Flügelson is a member of the Senate, when in fact it is possible that he is a member of the House of Representatives. Members of both the House and Senate can vote on bills being debated in Congress, but only members of the Senate vote on whether to approve the President's nominee for the Supreme Court. Therefore, the conclusion that Representative Flüg Flügelson will vote on the Supreme Court nominee based solely on the assumption that he is a member of the Senate is flawed.
