Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection.
This resolution directs Congress to meet in a joint session on January 6, 2025 at 1:00 p.m. to count the electoral votes for President and Vice President. It names the President of the Senate as the presiding officer, requires two tellers from each chamber to open and read the state certificates in alphabetical order beginning with A, and directs the tellers to record and deliver the vote totals to the President of the Senate. The President of the Senate then announces the result and the list is entered into the House and Senate journals. The measure organizes the procedural steps Congress will follow to carry out the constitutional duty of counting electoral votes.
Concurrent resolutions must be agreed to by both the House and Senate but are not presented to the President and do not become law; they govern Congresss internal proceedings. This resolution simply sets the time, presiding officer, tellers, and order for the electoral vote count.
This concurrent resolution sets the time and place for the counting of Electoral College votes on January 6, 2025.
It specifies that both Houses meet in the House chamber at 1:00 p.m., with the President of the Senate presiding, appointment of two tellers from each chamber, alphabetical state order beginning with "A," opening and reading certificates, tallying votes, and entering the results on the Houses' journals.
Procedural, noncontroversial text closely follows established practice; historically such resolutions are adopted with little resistance.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a concise, specifically drafted procedural resolution that sets the time, roles, and step-by-step process for the joint session to count electoral votes on January 6, 2025.

Views the resolution as routine and necessary to ensure orderly federal procedure.
Supports it as a neutral, procedural measure while noting the text is silent on logistics, security, and objection mechanics.
Likely supportive as it enforces the Constitutionally mandated counting procedure and parliamentary order.
Prefers adherence to existing law and state-certified results without federal expansion.
