“...Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings.”

Seems to me that’s the sticking point, since the Constitution says they need a Quorum but does not specify the Quorum must consist of people physically standing in the building, so it would be up to the rules that the House set to determine how a Quorum is to be reached.


Pretty sure that's how a quorum is defined, so it's not like the House can redefine whatever words it wants. Otherwise what's the point of even bothering to have a Constitution?
