re: #293 Quoth the raven, Covfefe.

I thought a quorum required a supermajority, in order to ensure that the majority party couldn’t just ram stuff through in the absence of the minority. I may be misremembering, though.

From the official Senate website:

quorum - The number of senators that must be present for the Senate to do business. The Constitution requires a majority of senators (51) for a quorum. Often, fewer senators are actually present on the floor, but the Senate presumes that a quorum is present unless the contrary is shown by a roll call vote or quorum call.
