Senate Meets Pro Forma, Adjourns Until July 9, 2026

The Senate convened for a brief pro forma session on Monday, July 6, 2026, at 9:01 and 59 seconds a.m. During the session, Senator James Lankford of Oklahoma was appointed as Acting President pro tempore. The proceedings lasted less than a minute, with no substantive legislative business conducted. The Senate then adjourned.

This pro forma session served to fulfill procedural requirements, keeping the Senate technically in session without transacting any legislative business. Such sessions are common during extended breaks to prevent recess appointments or other executive actions. The Senate is scheduled to reconvene on Thursday, July 9, 2026, at 4 p.m.
