The Republican senator said 'we may learn something from our Democratic friends in Texas.'
A 2013 report from the Congressional Research Service published on the Senate's website explains that"a straightforward reading of the Constitution's quorum requirement would seem to require a simple majority of Senators, or a minimum of 51 if there are no vacancies in the body." However, the Senate generally operates under the presumption it is complying with this rule unless a Senator"suggests the absence of a quorum.
The current Senate is evenly split, with 50 Republicans and 50 members of the Senate's Democratic Caucus. As a result, all 50 GOP senators would need to be on board with Graham's plan and leave the Capitol in order to deny Democrats quorum., a Kentucky Republican, to ask if GOP leaders were actively considering Graham's proposed strategy. McConnell's press representatives did not immediately respond.
