What do you think about the house’s use of the committee of the whole? is it a prudent efficiency or an unrepresentative maneuver?

it proves a very prudent efficiency

Explanation:

The Committee of the Whole  requires 100 members for a quorum to be in place, out of which only 25 members of the committee of the whole are required to force a recorded rather than voice vote.  the intended use of the committee was to debate bills privately and prevent a recorded vote from being taken. It is normally used to give initial consideration/expedite the hearing of important legislation, which includes bills for raising revenue, and this is because  debate over amendment occurs under a special five-minute rule.

they had freedom from the government and from the affairs
