CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

Brian Mast (R-FL)

Providing for a joint session of Congress to receive a message from the President.

H.Con.Res. 74 · House resolution Congress

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

  1. Introduced
  2. Agreed to by the House unanimous consent
  3. 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).

What this bill would do

This concurrent resolution directs the House of Representatives and the Senate to meet in the Hall of the House of Representatives. The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, February 24, 2026, at 9 p.m. The specific purpose of this assembly is to receive a communication from the President of the United States. Both the House and the Senate have agreed to this arrangement.
