To inform the Senate that a quorum of the House has assembled and election of the Speaker and the Clerk.

House Resolution 2 is a formal administrative notice used to notify the U.S. Senate that the House of Representatives has officially gathered and is ready to conduct business. It confirms the results of internal leadership elections, specifically announcing that the House has chosen its Speaker and Clerk for the current session of Congress. While this resolution does not change public law, it is a necessary procedural step that allows the two chambers of Congress to begin coordinating on legislation that affects the American public.
