Guest the fact that we would assemble as a body. There are several references in it that suggest that they dont see us being able to vote any other way. The counter argument to be fair would be traditionally the house and the senate have control over their own rules. This is a rule change. It was certainly adopted under he process that we have. There is a legitimate argument here. The legal scholars are split. Each side actually introduced information to that effect during the course of debate on this. More than that, i just think republicans feel pretty strongly that the house ought to be in session. Its an important to assemble to the country, important to legislate.
