Senate adjourns until Jan. 20 after brief opening prayer
Summary
After a brief opening that included a prayer and the pledge of allegiance, the Senate voted by voice to adjourn until Tuesday, Jan. 20 at 10 a.m.; no bills or committee business were considered.
The Senate was called to order and adjourned until Tuesday, January 20 at 10 a.m. after a short opening that included a prayer and the pledge of allegiance.
The session began with a prayer offered by the senator from Polk, who cited the first chapter of James and asked for grace and endurance, concluding, “In Jesus’ name we pray.” The presiding officer then led members in the pledge of allegiance.
The presiding officer asked whether there were corrections to the journal, requests to excuse senators, or points of personal privilege; no members rose to address those items. The presiding officer then recognized the senator from Polk, who moved that “the Senate adjourn until January 20 at 10 a.m.”
The presiding officer called for a voice vote. Members responded “Aye,” and the presiding officer announced that the motion prevailed and the Senate was adjourned until the stated date and time. The transcript records a voice vote only; no roll-call tally was provided.
The transcript of this session does not specify the calendar date on which the meeting took place, nor does it identify which state's Senate convened; the next scheduled meeting time was stated as Tuesday, January 20 at 10 a.m.
