The main purpose of this resolution is to formally notify the President of the United States that both the House of Representatives and the Senate have gathered and are prepared to receive any messages or communications from him. This is a standard procedure that takes place at the beginning of a new session of Congress. Key provisions of this resolution include the appointment of a committee made up of two members from the House of Representatives. This committee will work alongside a similar committee from the Senate to carry out the notification to the President.
