Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/File:Betsy DeVos final confirmation vote in US Senate tie broken by Mike Pence.webm

 * Reason:Video documents a historic vote in the United States Senate for two main reasons: first Cabinet nominee confirmed by a tie vote in United States history and was the first tie vote broken by a Vice President in the Senate since 2008 during the Bush administration. Due to this uncommon action in the Senate, this is to my knowledge the only video on Wikipedia of this situation.

 * Oppose Agree minimal EV - this gives no further information than a written statement of the fact, takes longer to watch, and is certainly not amongst Wikipedia's best work. |→ Spaully ~talk~ 20:38, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I see where you're coming from, and I'm always a fan of "firsts" and other political trivia, but nothing all that interesting happens over the course of this lengthy clip. We see lots of stuffy people milling about for a full minute (during which time I could've done something enjoyable like listen to the sax intro of "Careless Whisper", plus had time to throw some popcorn in the microwave), then the VP matter-of-factly says he's doing exactly what everybody expected him to do. –  Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 00:27, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
