House of Representatives adjourns for lack of quorum until 10 a.m. tomorrow
Summary
The House of Representatives stood adjourned after officials determined there was no quorum and invoked House Rule 9; the chamber will reconvene at 10 a.m. the following day, a House staff member said.
The House of Representatives stood adjourned after officials determined there was no quorum and invoked House Rule 9. "Will the house please come to order? Seeing no quorum, pursuant to house rule 9, the house will now stand in adjournment until tomorrow at 10AM," a House staff member said.
The adjournment halts further business scheduled for the session; the chamber is to reconvene at 10 a.m. tomorrow under the cited rule. The transcript record contains no additional debate, motions, or votes before the adjournment was announced.
The announcement occurred at the start of the session and was procedural: the staff member cited the absence of a quorum and the chamber's internal rule as the basis for adjourning. The transcript does not specify how many members were present or which pending agenda items, if any, will carry forward to the reconvened session.
