Original Note:
House proceedings are consistently opened with prayer, generally by the official House Chaplain. https://chaplain.house.gov/archive/index.html This practice goes back to the First Continental Congress in 1774. https://chaplain.house.gov/archive/continental.html The Supreme Court has ruled that legislative prayer does not violate the First Amendment. https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/572/565/
