8. The House was "doing (limited) business"

after they booted McCarthy and appointed an "Acting Speaker of the House" as I posted here - https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=edit&forum=1014&thread=3364415&pid=3364415

Do you recall this - Rep. Patrick McHenry of North Carolina is the leader of the House, at least for now

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — As Kevin McCarthy got pushed out of his job as House speaker, in part by colleagues who helped put him on the dais nine months ago, one of his top lieutenants stepped in to preside — at least temporarily.

North Carolina GOP Rep. Patrick McHenry took the gavel after Tuesday’s vote to oust McCarthy – a historic first for a House speaker. According to House rules, McHenry was picked from a list McCarthy was required to keep and will serve essentially as the acting speaker — known as speaker pro tempore — until the chamber figures out who will be the next leader.

And again, the SOH doesn't have a role in "certifying". That is given to the "President of the Senate" which is the Vice President.

They are just using the House Chamber as a venue (because it is big enough to hold all the members of Congress).
