Bob, lets begin with opening day at noon. Guest there was controversy couple years ago, a couple members in the house did not realize when they would do the swearing in. They were by a Television Screen and thought they could get sworn in that way. That will not happen again. They will get sworn in. A first vote they will have is for the house speaker.
