OOC: Note that I want to move on just as much as you do. We need to follow the rules though. I suggest you give them a couple of days, then delete those who don't reply as members. Then we'll have quorum. Simple as that.

I think that in a mod-sense, it's fine to instantly move the proceedings when it's been two weeks. I don't want to PM everyone, so this means that EVERYONE who did not vote on this will hereby no longer be a member of the Congress until they re-apply.
Therefore, motions will continue. Continue where I was.

If you wish to stay and your name has been taken off, PM me saying "I want to stay in the Congress," and that you can post often. I have your info still.

((We have to get this moving again. Last call for motions.))
"One final call," the Speaker said. "Are there any motions on the floor?"

Zeke clears his throat after an uncomfortable pause. "Sir, if I may.... Perhaps it would be wise to call a recess for the time being. There are simply not enough Congresspeople here to conduct business. I suggest we either gather together the representatives or suspend this legislature's operations."

((Thank you for bringing this back up  ))
"Agreed. But before I open up to a recess until there are enough representatives to conduct business, are there any suggestions as to how to get the required representative count on the floor?"

Zeke gestures generally, maintaining his seat on the floor. "Well, first we should issue a final quorum call to the congresspeople already in membership. I propose that those that fail to appear be striken from our ranks. A campaign to bring in new representatives would not be out of order either. All of this supposing, of course, that the Speaker wishes to continue conducting business."

"I very much do, and it is unfortunate that business had lessened. I now call a QUORUM CALL. All representatives who are in the congress MUST say the word, 'Aye,' or they will be stricken from our ranks."

Zeke nods resolutely. "Congressman Ezekiel Zabertini replies Aye to quorum call."
