The Constitution provides in Article 33 for a simple majority to constitute quorum for the transaction of business but the major issue dodging the ‘majority bloc’ is whether their majority is constitutional. "Each House shall establish its own committees and sub-committees; provided, however, that the committees on revenues and appropriations shall consist of one member from each County. All rules adopted by the Legislature shall conform to the requirements of due process of law laid down in this Constitution”.

When removed in his absence, Speaker Tyler might challenge the constitutionality of his removal on the basis of due process.
