According to others who have posted that live in Wisconsin, to pass fiscal bills there is a separate 3/5 quorum requirement. However...read further in section 7 and a majority quorum is all that is necessary for the Wisconsin House to set penalties for absent members. And they aren’t restricted in what those penalties might be...how about forfeiture of the seat after a certain period and a heavy monetary fine? Then direct the Governor to appoint replacements until an election is held. Problem solved and the yellow Rats sit there in Illinois like idiots.

So far, this is the best suggestion I've seen. How can we help make it happen??

It’d just take a few good Republican lawyers (to research it all to make sure that it can be done) and a decision by the Wisconsin House Republicans to go for it. Maybe a few well-connected Wisconsin freepers can suggest it to their reps. Not living there, I don’t know if I’m right...but it seems so based on the language of the Constitution.
