Would you consider it passed if a quorum was not present?
House rules have provisions for catastrophic quorum failure. Those provisions attach in times of catastrophe, like when members can't get to the House. It is too much to ask that they follow the rules respecting establishing a quorum? Or is quorum an antiquated requirement?
Massie did not need to make a big stink over this. What purpose does it serve? If you have an answer to that which satisfies the millions who are waiting on a relief check, consider what their “I give a shit” level is concerning congressional decorum.
