To inform the Senate that a quorum of the House has assembled and of the election of the Speaker and the Clerk.

Summary of the Bill

This is a routine procedural resolution that the House of Representatives passes at the very beginning of a new Congress. Its sole purpose is to formally notify the Senate that the House has enough members present to conduct business (known as a "quorum") and to inform the Senate who has been elected as Speaker of the House and Clerk of the House.

This resolution does not create any new laws, policies, or programs. It is essentially a formal message sent from one chamber of Congress to the other, similar to a notification that "we're organized and ready to work." It is one of the first pieces of business the House handles when a new session of Congress begins.

This type of resolution affects the internal operations of Congress rather than the general public. It passed the House without objection, meaning no members opposed it, which is standard for this kind of housekeeping measure. Every new Congress goes through this same procedural step as part of getting organized and establishing communication between the two chambers.
