AND AWAY WE GO!

Should be up any time now

As soon as Quorum is reached. I had a crazy thought about that: What happens if Dems avoid the Quorum call?

The have to have a quorum to vote so I would say, no action.


For the US Senate

quorum - The number of Senators that must be present for the Senate to do business. The Constitution requires a majority of Senators (51) for a quorum. Often, fewer Senators are actually present on the floor, but the Senate presumes that a quorum is present unless the contrary is shown by a roll call vote or quorum call.



quorum call - A call of the roll to establish whether a quorum is present. If any Senator "suggests the absence of a quorum," the Presiding Officer must direct the roll to be called. Often, a quorum call is terminated by unanimous consent before completion, which permits the Senate to use the quorum call to obtain a brief delay to work out some difficulty or await a Senator's arrival.

If they table the bill, it can be called back up again. It's like setting the bill aside.
