They have a major flaw in their system by requiring 2/3 to be present for a quorum. It gives the minority the ability to obstruct, just like a filibuster. If it's a House rule, and not a state law, once they get a quorum, they ought to correct it. If it's a state law, they ought to look into reforming it.

The rules were written by DEMOCRATS in 1876. They wrote with an eternal majority status in mind.
