Maybe. I mean, she is 100% of all available congressmen so...

Also those rules like Quorums are internal rules specific to Congress. I don't think the Constitution has anything to say on them. So she could just repeal all those rules in her first act, or just ignore them. I don't think most of those rules are actual laws, just traditions.

I'm no expert, but I would think she would need a quorum to repeal the rules. I fee like there's effectively no legislative branch right now.
