August Recess

On August 4, 2007 the Senate passed SCR 43, a concurrent resolution providing for a conditional adjournment or recess of the Senate, and a conditional adjournment of the House of Representatives. The resolution made the August recess official:
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), that when the Senate recesses or adjourns…it stand recessed or adjourned until 12 noon on Tuesday, September 4, 2007, or such other time on that day as may be specified by its Majority Leader or his designee in the motion to recess or adjourn, or until the time of any reassembly pursuant to section 2 of this concurrent resolution, whichever occurs first.
Congress, even with this resolution, managed to draft language that is open to interpretation. We look forward to the fall.
