Yea-and-Nay / Recorded Vote
U.S. House, House Rules, 119th Congress
How the vote was taken: every member's position was recorded by name. The two terms differ in how the vote was demanded, not in what it shows.
The Constitution requires the yeas and nays to be recorded whenever one-fifth of those present ask for it (U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 5).
A House member can also request a recorded vote, which takes place if one-fifth of a quorum supports the request. It is taken by electronic device, and the rules say it “shall be considered a vote by the yeas and nays” (House Rule XX, clause 1(b)). Either way, each member's vote is on the record.
A vote shown as “2/3 Yea-And-Nay” is the same kind of vote on a question that needed two-thirds to pass.
