Senate Meets Pro Forma, Adjourns to December 23, 2025

The Senate convened for a pro forma session on Friday, December 19, 2025. Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana was appointed as Acting President pro tempore by President pro tempore Chuck Grassley and presided over the brief proceedings. No legislative business was conducted. Following the appointment of the Acting President pro tempore, the Senate immediately adjourned until Tuesday, December 23, 2025, at 8:30 a.m.

This pro forma session served to fulfill procedural requirements, keeping the Senate technically in session without transacting any substantive legislative business. Such sessions are common during recesses or periods when no immediate legislative action is required.
