A resolution establishing a Committee to Inform the President of the United States that a quorum of each House is assembled.
SRES 1 is a procedural resolution that establishes a committee of two Senators to join a committee appointed by the House of Representatives. This joint committee will formally inform the President that both houses of Congress have enough members present (a quorum) and are prepared to receive communications from him. The resolution serves as a standard, non-substantive step at the start of a new congressional session to convene Congress. It does not create new laws or affect policy, but rather follows routine legislative protocol.
