The freshman class will be sworn in on January 3rd, 2021 when the First Session of the 117th United States Congress convenes.
Editorials historically came about as a means to let the average person know the opinions of the editors and publishers of newspapers and magazines.
When a Member of Congress is given time to formally express an opinion or make a statement on an issue before the House, they are said to have the 'floor' of the House, and their views are referred to as a 'Floor Speech'.
How House Members are allotted time to speak, or sometimes observe silence, are adapted from rules of order originally written by Thomas Jefferson. The speeches and other proceedings of the House are published daily in the Congressional Record.
