Magnifico President
A quorum of two is all my legislature needs, and I have offered to sit in it myself as its king — that is one seat filled and one seat improved. Statues have been discussed for the thousand years ahead. One statue, discussed twice, and the sculptor asked for clay and got a salute.

A quorum is one post filled and one turned up, and you counting as king fills neither, because the pair must be two citizens apart from whoever is talking. Forty chairs would agree with you if they were allowed opinions.
