[Okay, so why can’t one Republican switch parties and become a Democrat for a day or two? ]

Exactly

Going by what I've read....

20 members required for a quorum irrespective of party affiliation. GOP only holds 19 seats. One democRAT is required, not for bipartisan reasons, but simply to meet the quorum. Changing parties doesn't help

Move that a quorum is present. Who has the standing to object?
