Passed/agreed to in Senate: Submitted in the Senate, considered, and agreed to without amendment by Unanimous Consent.
This resolution sets up a small committee in the Senate to let the President know that enough members of both the House and the Senate are present to start work. It’s basically a formal “we’re ready” message at the start of a new session. It does not change any laws, programs, or funding, and it doesn’t affect everyday life for most people .
