Submitted in the Senate, considered, and agreed to without amendment by Unanimous Consent. (consideration: CR S8; text: CR S8)
This resolution elects an individual to an internal Senate office. It names Gary B. Myrick as Secretary for the Minority and establishes his role for Senate purposes. It is an action taken by the Senate itself and does not create law affecting the public. Its effect is limited to Senate organization and staff duties.
Passed by the Senate alone as an internal personnel action; it is not sent to the House or the President and only affects Senate operations.
A Senate resolution electing Gary B.
Myrick, of Virginia, to serve as Secretary for the Minority of the Senate.
The resolution is a single-paragraph, internal Senate personnel action agreed to by unanimous consent.
Extremely likely to be adopted/implemented given narrow, administrative nature and typical Senate practice; not a multi-branch lawmaking item.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a concise, narrowly focused administrative resolution that unambiguously effects the election of a named individual as Secretary for the Minority of the Senate.
