House Adjourns After Long Evening Session and Quorum Struggles
The House failed to entertain a motion and read a third time a joint resolution extending the rule barring bills to the President on the last day. A recess from 4 to 6 pm followed, then an evening session with a quorum at 6 30. A joint resolution to adjourn Wednesday was rejected. About thirty Senate bills were handled, roughly twenty passed. Around midnight a call of the House began, doors were closed, some members were brought in by the Sergeant at Arms, and the chamber stayed in session until 4 am with scant quorum and near-constant adjournment motions.
