	How Our Laws Are Made (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The absence of a quorum is the subject of a point of order--that is, an objection that the proceedings are out of order--that is, that the required number of Members is not present.
		Whenever a quorum fails to vote on any question, and a quorum is not present and objection is made for that reason, there is a call of the House unless the House adjourns.
		Once the presence of a quorum of the Committee of the Whole has been established for the day, quorum calls in the Committee are only in order when the Committee is operating under the five-minute rule and the Chairman has put the pending motion or proposition to a vote.

	Voting (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		However, quorum calls usually are ended by unanimous consent before the clerk completes the call of the roll and the absence of a quorum is demonstrated.
		The purpose of a quorum call usually is to suspend floor activity temporarily.
		Thus, the Senate may order a roll call vote on an amendment as soon as it is offered, but the vote itself may not take place for several hours or more, when Senators no longer wish to debate the amendment.

	107TH CONGRESS HOUSE RULES MANUAL
		If the Chairman interrupts the quorum call by declaring that a quorum is constituted, proceedings under the quorum call shall be considered as vacated, and the Committee of the Whole shall continue its sitting and resume its business.
		The quorum which must appear to permit the Committee to continue its business is a quorum of the Committee and not of the House (IV, 2970, 2971).
		No quorum being present when a vote is taken in Committee of the Whole, and the Committee having risen before a quorum appeared, such vote is invalid, and the question is put de novo when the Committee resumes its business (VI, 676, 677).

	1993 House Vote-Descriptions
		The motion to Adjourn was a method of forcing a quorum call since the previous point of order that a quorum was not present had been denied because of the vote postponement.
		This Quorum Call was an hour and a quarter long and used to allow the Democrat Leadership to decide what to do after it became obvious that H.Res 149, the rule for H.R. 1578 the Enhanced Recision Act of 1993, was going to be defeated.
		Normally this motion does not generate a roll call vote but due to the manner under which this bill came before the House the only way to get a vote on the Hyde amendment prohibiting public funding of abortions was to attempt to defeat the motion to rise.

	Voting and Quorum Procedures in The House of Representatives
		When a quorum is present on the floor, it may be easier to obtain sufficient support for a recorded vote than for a yea-and-nay vote because the number of Members present probably will exceed the minimal quorum of 218 (in which case 1/5 of the number present will exceed 44).
		Only when a quorum actually is present at the time of a voice or division vote--for example, when Members have just come to the floor to cast another vote--must a Member have the support of at least 1/5 of the Members present to secure a yea-and-nay vote on the same question.
		Note that the purpose of a quorum call under subparagraph (1) or a call of the House under subparagraph (2) is to secure the presence of a quorum, not to require the attendance of all the Members of the House.

	Blogger: Email Post to a Friend
		as andrew gill pointed out, the senate rules essentially give a presumption that there is a quorum unless there is a quorum call.
		while, on it's face, it seems a little ludicrous to assume there is a quorum of 51 senators when there are only three people in the room, it's apparently worked that way for a while.
		but given how well established this quorum call procedure is, and the fact that neither i nor commenter matt taylor could find any case which overturned a statute on those grounds, i think a court would be a little reluctant to rule on the constitutional issue.

	rubber hose: nuclear MADness
		in march i argued that the schiavo bill was unconstitutional because it was passed with only three senator present despite the constitution's quorum requirements.
		any member can ask for a quorum call, but they don't because the senate rarely has a quorum (try watching c-span sometime and count the number of people in the room).
		provided they have a skeleton crew in washington to demand a quorum call if necessary, democrats' activities would not be so limited.

	America's Debate -> Is this a precedent
		SENATE ROLL CALL VOTES The Senators present did not demand a quorum call (or unanimously over-rode it) and did not call for a roll call vote.
		And as to your "The senators not present did not deem it important enough to block it comment", that is completely ridiculous because the fact of the matter is that this was passed late on a Sunday and I'm almost 100% sure the Senators present didn't bother to notify the ones not present.
		All it would have taken to demand a quorum be present is one objector to object to the absence of quorum.

	Roll call: Study shows how bacteria signal a quorum
		The molecule is a key signal in an activity called quorum sensing -- the ability of certain bacteria to perform functions only when they are part of a sufficiently dense population.
		The discovery, published in the Jan. 31 issue of Nature, culminates years of searching for the signaling factor and also is of interest to scientists because the molecule turned out to contain the element boron, which has almost no other known use in biology.
		Their plan was to study the AI2 receptor, a protein called LuxP, while the AI2 molecule was anchored to it.
