House to Attend Presidential Inauguration on January 20, 2025; Adjournment and Reconvening Schedule Set
This bill lays out the House of Representatives' plan for attending the Presidential Inauguration. The bill directs the House to be present at the Inauguration of the President and Vice President, which is set to take place on the West Front of the Capitol at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, January 20, 2025.
Inauguration Day Details
The bill specifies that after the Inauguration ceremonies conclude, the House will adjourn for the day. This isn't just a day off, though. The House has a specific schedule to follow:
- Tuesday, January 21, 2025: The House will reconvene at noon for morning-hour debate. Think of this as a warm-up session where members can discuss various topics.
- Legislative Business Resumes: At 2 p.m. on the same day, the House gets back to its regular legislative work. This structured schedule ensures that while the House participates in this important ceremonial event, they also maintain continuity in their legislative duties.
This is a procedural move that helps keep the wheels of government turning smoothly during a major transition. It's the kind of behind-the-scenes planning that ensures the government continues to function, even amidst a significant event like a Presidential Inauguration.
