                        Parliamentary Inquiries

  Mr. BURGESS (during the vote). Mr. Speaker, I ask to be recognized 
for a parliamentary inquiry.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Kahele). The gentleman will state his 
parliamentary inquiry.
  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, my understanding is the longest recorded 
vote in the House in the past has been 2 hours and 50 minutes. This 
motion has been open a similar amount of time.
  May I ask how long you intend to keep the House suspended with this 
vote?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair will not serve as a historian, but 
the minimum for this vote is 15 minutes.
  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I have a further parliamentary inquiry.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman will state his parliamentary 
inquiry.
  Mr. BURGESS. With one vacancy in the House of Representatives, 217 
votes represents a clear majority on your side. The clear majority 
means that the vote will not change regardless of who else shows up. It 
is time to close this vote.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman has not stated a parliamentary 
inquiry.
  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I have a parliamentary inquiry.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman will state his parliamentary 
inquiry.
  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, is it possible to defeat this motion 
currently with 217 votes up on the board?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The threshold for rejecting a motion to 
adjourn is a majority vote with a quorum being present.
  Mr. BURGESS. And with the full number of the House being 434, this is 
a majority vote. It is anatomically impossible to defeat this with more 
than 217 votes. They don't exist.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman has not stated a parliamentary 
inquiry.
  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I would just submit, anyone who is up 
watching C-SPAN at this hour wonders what in the heck the House is 
doing right now. All the problems we have to solve, and this is the 
best we can muster.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman has not been recognized for 
debate.

                              {time}  1515

  Messrs. FOSTER, PAPPAS, KEATING, CUELLAR, SCHIFF, Ms. WILLIAMS of 
Georgia, Mr. SHERMAN, Mrs. LURIA, Mr. TORRES of New York, Ms. STEVENS, 
Messrs. CRIST and MFUME changed their vote from ``yea'' to ``nay.''
  Ms. HERRELL, Messrs. GONZALEZ of Ohio, ROGERS of Kentucky, and Ms. 
HERRERA BEUTLER changed their vote from ``nay'' to ``yea.''
  So the motion to adjourn was rejected.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
