Read a random definition: ad consimiles casus

A quick definition of yeas and nays:

Yeas and Nays: This term refers to the count of votes in favor and against a proposal or decision, especially in a government or other decision-making group. It helps to determine the outcome of the vote. For example, if more people vote "yea" than "nay," the proposal will pass. This term is also known as "ayes and nays."

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Yeas and Nays refer to the count of positive and negative votes on a proposal or motion. This term is commonly used to describe the outcome of a vote in a legislative or other decision-making body.

Examples:

  • During the Senate hearing, the yeas and nays were taken on the proposed bill.
  • The Speaker of the House called for the yeas and nays on the motion to adjourn.

These examples illustrate how the term "yeas and nays" is used to describe the outcome of a vote. In both cases, the count of affirmative and negative votes was taken to determine whether the proposal or motion was approved or rejected.
