No cosponsors on record. Bills can pass without cosponsors — this often means the sponsor introduced the bill alone, either because it's a messaging bill, a chairman's mark, or simply early in the legislative cycle.

This is a procedural measure that would arrange for Congress to meet together in a joint session so the President can deliver a message to lawmakers. Joint sessions are typically used for important presidential addresses like the State of the Union speech, where members of both the House and Senate gather in one chamber to hear directly from the President. The measure itself doesn't change any laws or policies—it simply schedules the logistics of when and how this formal address would take place.
