Sure, but it does not say “physical attendance”. Of course that’s the only kind of attendance the founders could have meant, but it does not actually say that. So I suppose it’s up to the courts to rule on whether “virtual attendance”, etc, satisfies the Constitutional requirement. If the courts want to bother to intervene in matters of Congress, that is.
