This is a routine task that happens at the start of every new Congress and always passes quickly.

This plan allows the Speaker of the House to choose two members for a small group. These members will join a group from the Senate to meet with the White House.
The group's job is to officially report that enough members of Congress have gathered to start working. This is a traditional step that happens at the start of every new two-year term.
This action is a standard part of the process and does not change any laws. It simply makes sure the different parts of government are ready to talk and start their daily tasks.
