Congressional Record: The Thirty-Eight Second Senate Session and the House That Vanished

At AI on Capitol Hill, we use artificial intelligence to increase transparency and engagement with our government. This episode focuses on the Daily Digest and Congressional Record from March 20, 2025—a day that may look uneventful on the surface but offers revealing insights under closer scrutiny.

Key Points:
• The Senate met for just 38 seconds in a pro forma session, adjourning almost immediately
• The House of Representatives was not in session at all—zero floor or committee activity
• Senator Jane C. Justice of West Virginia presided as acting president pro tempore, subbing in for Senator Chuck Grassley
• The quiet day sets the stage for significant upcoming confirmation votes, hinting at shifting legislative priorities

In this episode, we break down:
• What pro forma sessions are and why they matter
• The procedural role of the president pro tempore
• How a “nothing day” in Congress can signal future executive appointments
• The broader function of the Congressional Record and where to access it

Our AI-generated summaries make complex governmental activities accessible to all listeners. Join us for an in-depth exploration of how Congress operates—and why even its quietest days matter.

Who knows what you might uncover in seemingly boring government documents?
