SRES 364 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Shutdown Accountability Resolution

SRES 364 is a procedural Senate resolution establishing specific rules for Senate operations during a federal government shutdown. It mandates that the Senate convene daily at 8:00 a.m. without exception, requires roll calls every hour to verify a quorum, and creates a process for compelling absent Senators to attend (including symbolic "arrest" language as a procedural step). The resolution applies solely to Senate members during shutdowns and requires votes to adjourn or recess, with strict requirements for two-thirds approval. This is an internal Senate procedural rule, not a law affecting the public or government operations.
