With no fanfare, the U.S. House has passed a
controversial doomsday provision that would
allow a handful of lawmakers to run Congress
if a terrorist attack or major disaster killed
or incapacitated large numbers of congressmen...

I think it is more interesting than that. Aren't they allowed to run
Congress even in the event of an airline strike, or other occurrence
that pervents other congressmen from attending?

Well for the past 20 years, a handful of lawmakers have run the Congress
anyway.
