In the U.S. Constitution, Article 1 Section 5 states:
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.

Both houses have rules which, they say, "over rule the Constitution".

The vote was illegal so it should be declared “invalid”. Someone should appeal to the Supreme Court.

Article I, Section 5 also states:

Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behaviour, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member.

If the House wishes to allow proxy voting, it’s not reviewable by the courts, the House has the sole authority over it’s rules.
