The purpose of this resolution is to formally notify the President of the United States that the House of Representatives has gathered and is prepared to receive any messages or communications from him. This is a standard procedure that occurs at the beginning of a new session of Congress. The key provision of this resolution is the appointment of a committee made up of two members from the House. These members are tasked with delivering the notification to the President. This process ensures that the President is aware that the House is in session and ready for official business.
