women have avoided the necessity of operation by taking

What is the parliamentary meaning Of
the word quorum?
Technically and dramatically it is
the genitive plural OF the Latin pro

parliamentary sense 1t means the
requisite number Of members to do bus

the constitution, this means a majority.
That is the rule in the Congress ana in
