The House of Representatives has passed a resolution to establish a special committee comprising two members. These members, appointed by the Speaker, are tasked with a specific ceremonial and procedural duty. Their primary purpose is to formally inform the President of the United States that a sufficient number of representatives, or a quorum , has gathered and that the House is officially in session. Furthermore, the committee will convey that the House is prepared to receive any official communication the President wishes to deliver. This resolution ensures proper procedural notification between the legislative and executive branches at the commencement of a session, facilitating inter-branch communication.
