What is the option should the planes that hit the WTC have hit the House of Representatives and wiped out most of them if not all? How should they be replaced in a emergency situation such as the senario above? Just let the government flounder at the direction of whomever until each state can call elections, hold them, etc?

Jeepers! Don't ask any good questions...just say no. Don't think...just say NO!

If some terrorist drives a truck with an A-bomb into the Capital, while the full House is in session, would someone please explain how government goes on?

I just realized how little of my american government class I remember. I do know that the constitution has a provision whereby the federal government can be disolved by a vote by (I think) a convention of governors. If the High levels were that badly damaged, I believe such a convention would be held to decide the most expedient means of putting everything back together.

      Quite well, thank you.  The executive and judicial branches would still be in place, and defense is an executive functions.  Replacing judges?  That's not working too well with congress in session.  As inquest pointed out, we don't need a congress in continuous session. 
      Somewhere along the line, it bacame accepted that the only job of a legislature is to pass new laws.  We have quite enough on the books already.
