House would formally tell President it's ready to work
The House of Representatives has assembled, but the President needs to be formally told they are ready to receive messages. This bill would create a small committee of two House Members to deliver that official notice. This step helps the House begin its legislative duties.
Currently, the House of Representatives may have assembled, but the President has not been formally notified by a designated committee. If this bill passes, a committee of two House Members would be appointed by the Speaker to officially tell the President that the House has enough members present and is ready to receive any messages.
