HRES 811 United States House · 118th Congress

Authorizing the Clerk to inform the President of the election of the Speaker.

HRES 811 instructs the House Clerk to formally notify the President that Mike Johnson has been elected Speaker of the House. This procedural resolution serves as a standard step in the leadership transition process after the House elects its Speaker, with no policy changes or new requirements. It directly affects the Clerk (who executes the notification) and the President (who receives it), but does not alter any laws or regulations. The bill is purely administrative, confirming a routine constitutional step following the House's leadership election.
