Some members andaides have started to pass through into the ballroom. House Judiciary chair Jim Jordan just walked in wearing a white shirt and yellow tie and, of course, no jacket. Jordan was with his wife.
In the ballroom, they have turned ontwo giant screens either side of the stage.
The screens are showing what is titled “Agenda 250 Trivia”, with the question: “After finally achieving a quorum on April 1st, 1789, who was elected the first speaker of the House?”
Music has been cycling through the hits, including“Upside Down & Inside Out” by OK Go.
