Looking In on Congress From •
the House Gallery
putting something over Much la done
by unanimous consent when n single
tiii'iul er can object anil stop or stu.v
proceedings. A member may nt any
time question the presence of a quo
rum and If the speaker does not find a
quorum present h.v actual count the
roll I . culled signal bells ring In the
corii^' is, restaurant and house offiei
building so that members may appear
and answer to their mimes. When'
ei er n member Is feurtul tlmt some
thing will be done which he doesn't
wiint done except by consideration of
tlie w hole house, he cun raise the ques
tion of a quorum and n quorum must
tie s» m u red before business Is further
considered.
A quorum In the housi consists of
a majority of Its meiuliershlp. There
are 485 members when all are alive
and there are no vacancies—although
there are often two or three vaenndes
on account of death or resignation. So
It usually requires 21T or 218 members
to make a quorum. When the house
Is doing business as the committee ot
the whole US' members make a quo- I
rum
Reasons for Damandins • Quorum.
The point of no quorum Is raised
often because n mem er mints a full
attendance when tin question before
the house Is considered It Is raised
sometimes because some one present
wants a gisal audience for an im|mrt
ant apiM'ch. It Is iufsed «cvaalonall.i

This Is one of th«» necessary results
of a r«>publlciui form of government
It Is nut so in un autocracy. It la not
so In Russia. Then* you get quick
action. By a decree from th«1 tuto
