Speaker Mike Johnson on May 26, 2026, transmitted a communication to the House naming the Honorable Riley Moore to serve as speaker pro tempore for the day and notifying members of a separate appointment to a federal advisory body.
The communication read in the chamber said, “I hereby appoint the Honorable Riley Moore to act as Speaker pro tempore on this day,” language signed by Speaker Mike Johnson and entered into the House record. The statement was presented at the opening of the session and placed before the House as a formal notification rather than a floor vote.
In the same sitting the Chair announced, pursuant to section 306(k) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 242k) and the House order of Jan. 3, 2025, the Speaker's appointment of Mr. Bruce Greenstein of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to the National Committee on Vital and Health Statistics for a term of four years. The Chair listed Greenstein by name as the individual the House was recording for that federal advisory committee appointment.
Reverend Rachel Landers, guest chaplain from Capitol Hill Presbyterian Church, opened the session with a prayer invoking unity and service, asking members to "remember who we are" and to work toward "a vision of prosperity and liberty that is wedded to the prosperity and liberty of the many." The House then approved the journal of the prior day's proceedings and recited the Pledge of Allegiance.
No roll-call votes on either appointment were recorded in the transcript; each item was entered as a notification or announcement to the chamber rather than an acted-on motion. The Chair concluded the day's business by adjourning the House until noon Friday, May 29, 2026.
