Elsewhere someone suggested it should be mandatory and not an option and I made a similar argument as you. I agree that it shouldn’t be automatic, but people should have the option to recall them for excessive absences in my opinion. I’m not suggesting it be required or anything.
Not voting is perfectly valid. It’s what the Democrats should do.
Also if this is implemented a majority can get all other members kicked out by making a surprise session at 2AM or something.
Simply add a “No vote” option, but needs to be pressed like “Yes” and “No”. Also, it should not be possible to call a surprise session at 2am.
“Abstain”
Thank you! I knew there was a word for it but could not think of it.
It’s already an option for both chambers

Recall should be an option yes.
