Here is an interesting idea: One of the Republicans needs to declare he is switching parties to become a Democrat but caucus with the Republicans.

They can then vote on this bill and after a reasonable amount of time the new Dem could say he could not work with the leftists like he thought and go back to being a Republican.

It’s not about party representation. It’s about the number of warm bodies present.

Seriesly, you have to be about the 1000th person to make this erroneous suggestion over the last week.

I asked on Twitter if this were possible and why it had not been considered. I got no response. I don't know what the rules are there. Do they define a quorum based upon both parties being present, or based on numbers?
