Both Chambers of Congress enter ‘caretaker mode’ between the 1st and 10th day of a congressional electoral month.

Congressional Caretaker Mode
Only necessary bills are to be proposed to ensure the efficient running of the Government; however, any motion may be proposed but is required to reach a supermajority in order to pass.
