CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

Providing for the attendance of the House at the Inaugural Ceremonies of the President and Vice President of the United States.

H.Res. 43 · House resolution Congress

A Republican resolution with no cosponsors

Last activity — Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection.

Adopted

The chamber formally agreed to it, and for a resolution that is the finish line: what it says is now officially the chamber's position, rule or tribute.

Nothing more is needed. A resolution is how a chamber speaks for itself or sets its own rules, so adopting it is what puts it into effect. It is not a law, so there is nothing for the President to sign.

Its path through Congress

  1. Introduced
  2. Adopted by the House unanimous consent

A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

The House by unanimous consent (no one objected, so there was no vote): no member's position on it was recorded.

What this bill would do

This resolution sets the schedule for the House of Representatives on January 20 and 21, 2025. It states that at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, January 20, 2025, the House will go to the West Front of the Capitol to attend the inaugural ceremonies for the President and Vice President. After these ceremonies conclude, the resolution directs that the House stands adjourned. The House will then reconvene at noon on Tuesday, January 21, 2025, for morning-hour debate. Finally, it will proceed to legislative business at 2 p.m. on that same day.
