Again? They did this in 2003. They ought to pass a state law that made this a defacto resignation from office.

Ummm... Congress operates under the rule of unanimous consent. If no Republican is there to object to proposed laws and demand a formal vote, the Rats could pass anything they like while the GOP is taking a powder. This ain’t Texas.

This won't work in 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.

There are 57 democrats in the Senate.

Maybe you should have checked into this before posting that this is what the GOP should do? Maybe?

Our representation in DC has been stolen by graft and corruption perpetrated by Obama, Reid, and Pelosi and the rest of the RATs. We now live in a dictatorship with a Fuhrer in power.
