Greetings United States Congress!
So do to past discussions with Representative Rossb654mail and Supreme Court Justice RyanRevan, we are NOT allowed to have any form of official session unless we can get 16 House Representatives in a session all the same time.
The chances of that are very close to "never going to happen" which I why I propose this to be our next method of conducting business:
At the beginning of each week, I will post a series of session dates where Congressmen can join freely, and enjoy the open floor for debate, for discussion, for hearings, etc... It can also be a chance to discuss cooperative efforts to create bills. The beginning of that session will mark the beginning, but the end of in game presence does not mark the end of the session. Any forums or bills that call for vote or participation, or even just to be read, will be considered a part of that session. As far as bills go, you will have the opportunity to debate on open floor, where to vote official via forum.
I suggest this idea because the chances of us getting 16 Representatives in one room at one point in time, every time we need to meet, is more likely to not happen than to do so.
All in favor vote; Yea All opposed vote; Nay

"So do to past discussions with Representative Rossb654mail and Supreme Court Justice RyanRevan" you know you really love lying don't you its in the constitution. THE CONSTITUTION. it's clear you don't know what that is, but i'll only say this: it's the supreme law of the land which congress cannot overrule without amending it. i'd love if the quorum was lower, but unfortunately, IT ISN'T. sorry for following the law, gosh.

Ross, I am not saying we should just meet with 5 people and call it official. I am saying this method above is how we have always done it, but RyanRevan is asking for physical proof otherwise he will have the Supreme Court breathing down our necks again, so I am supplying a revote.

"how we have always done it" no, it's never been how we've done it. or at least, in the history of a sane congress.

NO!
Do you people understand what will happen if we were to change the quorum?
Marinio, I'm pretty sure it's not Ross or Ryan's fault that you can't get 16 reps in one room.
You're the speaker, it's not their job to organize a session.
It's your's. =/

unconstitutional, per usual.
unless 16 representatives are in the chambers, you cannot conduct buisness OF ANY KIND.
the constitution mandates bills must be made and passed in the capitol, roblox forums =/= chambers
i know you dont want to punish the braindead reps who only show up to back you up but the constitution included half plus one clause FOR A REASON

i am against this for two reasons
first, it's unconstitutional
second, it lets lazy people stay in congress with no consequences

Ryan, your methods discriminate those from the UK, or Pacific Coast. We cannot revolve Congress around EST. The people decided who their Congressmen will be, let those Congressmen do their jobs.
