Senate Meets Pro Forma, Adjourns to Monday, October 19, 2026

The Senate convened for a pro forma session on Thursday, October 15, 2026, at 9:30 and 1 second a.m. During the brief session, Senator Bernie Moreno of Ohio was appointed as Acting President pro tempore by the President pro tempore, Mr. Grassley. The Senate then adjourned at 9:30 and 27 seconds a.m., with the next meeting scheduled for Monday, October 19, 2026, at 9 a.m.

This pro forma session served to fulfill procedural requirements, allowing the Senate to remain technically in session without conducting any substantive legislative business. Such sessions are common when the chamber is not expected to conduct regular business but needs to avoid a lengthy adjournment.
