DEVELOPMENT
HISTORY OF SPECIAL COMMITTEES ON RULES BEFORE THE CREATION OF A STANDING COMMITTEE ON RULES
The Senate first convened on March 4, 1789 without a quorum (only eight Senators appeared) and without any rules. It was not until April 6 that a quorum of the membership appeared. During the interim, the Senate adjourned from day to day without transacting any business except acting on proposed communications to absent members requesting their attendance. On April 7, a special committee to prepare and propose a system of rules was created (Journal, p. 10) as follows:
Ordered, That Mr. Ellsworth, Mr. Lee, Mr. Strong, Mr. Maclay, and Mr. Bassett, be a committee to prepare a system of rules to govern the two Houses in cases of conference, and to take under consideration the manner of electing Chaplains, and to confer thereupon with a committee of the House of Representatives.
Ordered, That the same committee prepare a system of rules for conducting business in the Senate.
This committee performed its assignment and filed a report on April 13, 1789, proposing 19 rules for conducting business in the Senate. The report was adopted on April 16, 1789, which gave the Senate the following 19 rules (Journal, p.13):
The, report of the committee appointed to determine upon rules for conducting business in the Senate, was agreed to. Whereupon,
Resolved, That the following rules, from No. I, to XIX, inclusive, be observed.

Gen.1
[1] In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
[2] And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
[3] And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
[4] And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
[5] And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
[6] And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
[7] And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
[8] And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

"What does this prove, according to your contention"
"The Xth Congress of the United States without quorom but with legal
concensus was modeled after the witness to Creation as explicated
through the logical form of the genetic description of creation."
"It doesn't prove that God exists."
"It proves that this nation is Under God"
