Message on Senate action sent to the House.
This resolution schedules a joint session of the House and Senate to receive a message from the President on March 4, 2025. It is a congressional internal procedure that sets the time and place for both chambers to assemble. It does not create law, does not require the President's signature, and only directs Congress to meet at the specified time.
This is a concurrent resolution agreed to by both the House and the Senate for internal congressional business; it is not presented to the President and does not become law.
This concurrent resolution schedules a joint session of the House and Senate to receive a message from the President.
