Bill 117 H.Con.Res. 69, also known as the "Providing for a joint session of Congress to receive a message from the President" bill, was introduced in the US Congress to authorize a joint session of Congress to receive a message from the President of the United States. The purpose of this bill is to allow the President to address both the House of Representatives and the Senate in a formal setting, typically to deliver the State of the Union address or other important messages.
The bill outlines the procedures and logistics for convening a joint session of Congress, including the date and time of the session, the protocol for inviting the President to speak, and the rules for conducting the session. It also specifies that the session will be open to members of both chambers of Congress, as well as invited guests and members of the media.
The bill does not contain any specific policy proposals or legislative changes, but rather serves as a procedural measure to facilitate communication between the President and Congress. It is a routine piece of legislation that is typically passed without much controversy or debate.
Overall, Bill 117 H.Con.Res. 69 is a straightforward and non-controversial bill that simply authorizes a joint session of Congress to receive a message from the President. It is an important part of the democratic process and helps to ensure transparency and accountability in government.
