Of course, this is just academic right now since the 60% rule was removed. That means, if the House decides not to change the Senate version, we will be in good shape---I think.
That rule was always in effect. That was the point of the grandfather clause was that you either had to have 60% attendence from the countries own citizens (plus some other stuff)... OR, be approved by a state before 1991 (i think that is the year), which was the grandfather clause part.
