Question:

The House is to consider two linked pieces of legislation, A and B. It is clear that the Senate will not pass Bill A or B either by itself, but it will pass them together. Two hundred representatives weakly support A and strongly oppose B. Two hundred representatives weakly support B and strongly oppose A. The remaining 35 representatives weakly support both bills. The Speaker of the House is deciding whether to combine Bills A and B (so that representatives can only vote for both A and B or against A and B) or submit them to the House as separate, not linked, bills.
a. What outcome is expected if the bills are combined? if they are separated?
b. Which result better accounts for preference intensity?
