Summary:

Senate rules require a majority of a committee to be physically present in order to vote to report a measure, although smaller quorums are allowed for voting on amendments and for other committee business (Rule XXVI, paragraph 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(3)). If a committee reports a measure without a majority quorum physically present, a Senator may raise a point of order on the floor against the measure's consideration. Some committees allow a vote to be "held open" for additional Senators to vote, but with a presumption that these votes cannot change the outcome.
