"Since we have no statement in the Constitution of a required Quorum,..."

I thought that the Quorum requirement was in the US Constitution,
Article One, Section Five - Membership, quorum, ajournments, rules; Power to punish or expel; the Journal.

Each House shall be the Judge of the Elections, Returns and Qualifications of its own Members, and a Majority of each shall constitute a Quorum to do Business; but a smaller Number may adjourn from day to day, and may be authorized to compel the Attendance of absent Members, in such Manner, and under such Penalties as each House may provide.

Seems as if the Quorum requirement is both defined and mandated by the US Federal Constitution...

fine, if the supreme court refuses to accept that these amendments were unconstitutionally approved... then I suggest we pass another amendment using the same tactic....

I purpose that the republican senate eject all the democratic senators in the senate and dissolve their current state legislatures, then replace them with hand picked republicans who will vote to ratify my new amendment which bans abortion...
