9 days times Y/X If you need 1 R and there’s 1 in the caucus, they can hold out 9 days before being disqualified. If you need 1 R and there’s 2 in the caucus, they get to 18 days. That means for the senate, with 12 Rs and 2 needed for quorum, they can hold out: 9 days * (12/2) = 54 days
This means that whenever Rs want to grandstand on a bill, they can delay legislative proceedings for nearly 2 months each session—longer if there’s no session from Friday-Sunday as in most weeks. As a reminder, short sessions are just 35 days.
The Rs will be eating their own well before then, but when I'm Governor, I'll absolutely schedule a 55-day special session with all of my priorities lined up and ready to go. #CampaignPromises #OrGov26
Not to mention needing to have all Ds present or how long a House / Senate coordinated walkout could be
So many layers of hell we could unlock
should have clarified: I was looking for the longest the caucus can hold out without anyone getting disqualified. I think that number is: 9 + floor(10(X - 1)/Y)
implies that each of the 12 senators is present for 45 days with never more than 2 present, does that work?
