Providing for a joint session of Congress to receive a message from the President.
A Republican resolution with no cosponsors
Last activity — Message on Senate action sent to the House.
Passed both chambers, not yet sent to the President
Both the House and the Senate have passed it, though not necessarily the same text.
If the two chambers passed identical wording, the final copy is being prepared for the President. If they did not, one chamber must accept the other's version or the two negotiate a single one — nothing goes to the President until the text is identical.
Its path through Congress
- Introduced
- Agreed to by the House unanimous consent
- Agreed to by the Senate unanimous consent
A concurrent resolution is how the House and the Senate settle something they do together, such as a budget plan or a joint session. It is adopted once both chambers agree to it, and that puts it into effect; it is not a law, so it does not go to the President.
No one's position on it was recorded: the House by unanimous consent (no one objected, so there was no vote), and the Senate by unanimous consent (no one objected, so there was no vote).
