Note the lack of mention of a quorum in the Constitution.

As long as 2/3 of the senators present vote yes. So if four are present and three vote yes...

I'm pretty sure if that didn't violate existing Senate rules the liberals would have already tried it with Law of the Sea Treaty they have been trying to pass since the Reagan Administration or the Kyoto Global Warming Treaty during the 1990's

We’ll see. This president thinks he’s immune from repercussions, while the others felt the need for some restraint. If he owns three Supreme justices he may be immune.

I don’t really think they’ll pull such a stunt but I thought it important to bring up.
