Organizing Resolutions for the House of Representatives

Reference Information for the
Rules of the 110th Congress

The House of Representatives adopts its organizing resolution at the beginning of each Congress in the form of a simple House resolution. Information related to H. Res. 5 and H. Res. 6 for the 110th Congress is included here. Though organizing resolutions usually have the number H. Res. 5, as part of the transition from a Republican Majority in the 109th Congress to a Democratic Majority in the 110th Congress, the new Leadership found it useful to use two resolutions, H. Res. 5 and H. Res. 6, for organizing the new Congress.
