Law

Very likely to pass

This is a standard procedural move that passed immediately to allow the House to function.

This resolution is a routine step that happens at the start of a new session. It tells the Senate that enough members of the House are present to legally vote and pass laws.
The Clerk of the House is responsible for sending this message to the Senate. This ensures both parts of Congress are on the same page before they start their official work for the year.
While this is a required procedural step, it does not change any laws or affect the daily lives of citizens directly. It simply allows the House to move forward with its scheduled legislative tasks.
