Senate ready for business: formal start of the legislative session

This resolution is purely procedural, signifying that the U.S. Senate has assembled a sufficient number of members (a quorum) to officially begin legislative business. While the resolution itself introduces no changes to the law, it is a necessary step for the Senate to start considering bills that will eventually affect citizens' lives. Citizens can expect the Senate to actively work on new legislation from this point forward.
