"The ayes have it" nghĩa là gì?


"The ayes have it" có ayes là phiếu thuận, phiếu đồng ý -> cụm từ này nghĩa là đa số đã bỏ phiếu ủng hộ.

Ví dụ 
The ayes have it. The nomination of Thomas J. Vilsack to be Secretary of Agriculture is approved.

All other democracies, not to mention our local commissioner and mayoral races and even the way we choose leaders of clubs and chairs of non-profit organizations, use majority rule, in other words, the popular vote. What’s so heretical (thuộc dị giáo) about “the ayes have it” when choosing a U.S. president?

In voice vote, members orally communicate their agreement or disagreement with the proposed motion (bản kiến nghị) by responding to Speaker's question. When a motion is put for vote, the speaker says, "Those in the favour of the motion say Aye and those opposing it say No." The Speaker then takes a call on which voice was the loudest and declares "the ayes have it" or "the noes have it," depending upon the outcome.
