Yeas and naysThe list of members of a legislative body voting in the affirmative and negative of a proposition is so called
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
List
A table of cases arranged for trial or argument; as, the trial list, the argument list.
Members
English law. Places where a custom-house has been kept of old time, with officers or deputies in attendance; and they are lawful places of exportation or importation.
Body
A person.
Affirmative
Averring a fact to be true; that which is opposed to negative.
Negative
This word has several significations: 1) It is used in contradistinction to giving assent; thus we say the president has put his negative upon such a bill. 2. It is also used in contradistinction to affirmative; as, a negative does not always admit of the simple and direct proof of which an affirmative is capable. When a party affirms a negative in his pleadings, and without the establishment of which, by evidence, he cannot recover or defend himself, the burden of the proof lies upon him, and he must prove the negative.
Proposition
An offer to do something. Until it has been accepted, a proposition may be withdrawn by the party who makes it; and to be binding, the acceptance must be in the same terms, without any variation.
