Allowing Congress to Assemble Outside Washington D.C. During Emergencies.
This resolution grants Congressional leaders (House Speaker and Senate Majority Leader) the authority to move the location of legislative sessions outside of Washington, D.C. This power can be exercised only when warranted by the public interest, such as during a major security threat or disaster. This ensures the continuity of government and the ability of Congress to pass necessary laws without interruption.
Key points
Congress can hold sessions outside Washington D.C. if public interest requires it (e.g., during emergencies).
The decision to relocate is made jointly by the House Speaker and Senate Majority Leader, following consultation with minority leaders.
