60% is required for a quorum, which is 19.8.

19.8. Since you can't have 8/10th of a person wouldn't that round to 19?

Laz made that same point and I passed it on to Scott...tempting, but probably a non-starter.

19.8 is the minimum, cannot be less. You don’t get to drop the .8 requirement just because it give the result you want. It has to be that or greater.

If you have 2 senate seats vacant you need only 18.6 persons to meet the quorum requirement, and the Republicans with 19, meet the standard.

So, how do you vacate a seat? Well, there are three ways ~ REMOVAL, RETIREMENT or DEATH.

Is 19 at least 19.8? Nope.
