The Federal Maritime Commission can keep working even if some Commissioner seats are empty. A majority vote of the sitting Commissioners is needed to decide any matter before the Commission.

A vacancy, or several vacancies, among the Commission's members does not stop it from doing its job. Deciding any matter before the Commission requires a majority vote of the Commissioners currently serving.
