Thank you, Madam Chair.
I think we agree in saying that, regardless of what we write in the report, it will not tie the Supreme Court's hands. The Supreme Court could decide that the virtual presence of 20 people is constitutional or that it is not. No one has a crystal ball. My understanding of the recommendation is that we feel that the virtual presence of 20 people in the House is sufficient, given the testimony we have heard, to open the House and continue our daily work.
I understand that this recommendation is not intended to tie the Supreme Court's hands. It is intended to help us operate with 20 people virtually because we feel sufficiently comfortable with the testimony we have heard to say that, in our opinion, this will likely not be overturned by the Supreme Court.
I don't think this recommendation has any other uses than to allow us to manage our own affairs.
