I just heard on KXEL radio that the Iowa House was called into session this morning to debate the RKBA constitutional amendment and the "stand your ground" bill. It appears the House Democrats asked for a recess to have a "private caucus" or something. Recess was called and the Democrats LEFT THE BUILDING.
Wikipedia tells me that there are 60 Republicans and 40 Democrats in the House. I suspect the Democrats want to hold up these bills with their absence. Can the House continue to be in session with only 60 members present? Would any vote they hold be binding?
I might be paranoid and over reacting with my interpretations of the House Democrats actions but even so I'd still want to know the rules that the House operates under for future reference.
