Senate recesses for Democratic caucus in Room 24

The presiding officer called the Senate to order and recognized the senator from Johnson, Senator Weiner, who announced that Democratic members would caucus in Room 24 and the chamber would be "at ease" for that purpose. "Thank you, madam president. Democrats will caucus in Room 24. The Senate will be at ease for Democrat caucus," Sen. Weiner said.

The announcement paused floor business; the provided transcript shows brief follow-up remarks — including an "Amen" and a repeated instruction for the "Democratic caucus immediately in Room 24" — but records no formal motions, votes, or additional actions while the chamber went into recess. One speaker in the transcript made an undecorated remark: "I mean, that's a lot. So there was no rotation of what happened. Yeah. I don't think," which is unattributed in the official record.

The remarks in the transcript indicate a procedural recess to permit a private, party-specific meeting (a caucus) in Room 24. The transcript does not record the length of the recess, any subsequent floor actions, or any formal vote tied to the announcement. No statutes, ordinances, resolutions, or other legal authorities were cited in the provided excerpt.
