This resolution was passed on the first day of the session to set up the House leadership.

The House of Representatives voted to fill three important jobs that keep the government running. These roles are the Clerk, the Sergeant-at-Arms, and the Chief Administrative Officer.
The Clerk is in charge of keeping track of all the bills and votes. The Sergeant-at-Arms handles security and makes sure everyone follows the rules during meetings.
The Chief Administrative Officer manages the business side of things. This includes tasks like paying staff and making sure the technology in the offices works correctly.
These votes happen at the start of every new two-year term. While these people are not famous, they make sure the House of Representatives can do its work for the American people.
