Nothing requires a 2/3 quorum. The quorum number is set at 20.

The WI Constitution requires a three-fifths quorum for fiscal legislation. Since the total number of elected members is 33, a three-fifths quorum is calculated to be 20. There is no law or senate rule "setting" the quorum to 20.

3/5 is NOT 2/3, as the previous poster stated. 2/3 of 33 would be 22.
