If the legislation has been on the floor for more than 168 hours, or debate has ceased for 24 hours, a simple majority shall be needed to pass cloture.

Aware I'm looking at the old rules but doesn't this mean we have cloture?

I was looking at this:

A quorum is defined as the minimum number of members of the House that must be present at any of its meetings to make the proceedings of that meeting valid, which is defined as a majority of the sitting House.

I don't think that Quorum rules have ever (I could be wrong) been applied to straight up votes; at least not when I've been in the House.

They're impossible to track because beyond swearing into our house terms there's no other way of tracking who is 'present'; you can be present whilst not voting.

Ok so I have the cloture vote as 4-0-0-5, so yeah quorum isn't met. I thought we had 5 votes earlier, if someone deleted their vote with the intent to obstruct Congress that's disappointing. I will be suspending the rules, I could extend this vote but given the House has already expressed its intention for a final vote we will be moving straight to a final vote.

Representatives have 72 hours to vote Aye, Nay or Abstain on this bill.

Cloture vote, for the record.
Aye; 4 (thumb21, razze, Blair, JGibson)
Nay; 0
Abstaining; 0
Not voting; 5 (fhtagn, YE, LouisvilleThunder, ReaganClinton, Elcaspar)

Right, 72 hours to vote on whether to approve the rules suspension, 2/3rds of Representatives needed for the suspension to pass and us to have a final vote.
