Informing the House of Representatives that a quorum of the Senate is assembled.

House Votes

This resolution makes a simple, formal announcement: it tells the Secretary of the Senate to notify the House of Representatives that enough senators are present to do official work and that the Senate is ready to begin business . It does not create new programs or change any laws; it’s a routine step that happens at the start of a session so Congress can get to work .

• Who this affects: mainly the Senate and the House, so they can coordinate and start their work .
• What it changes: it triggers a formal notice from the Senate to the House that the Senate is ready to proceed .
• Impact on daily life: none directly; it’s an internal step so Congress can begin its agenda .
