Morning Business in the United States Senate

Morning Business in the United States Senate is routine business that is supposed to occur during the first two hours of a new legislative day. This business includes receiving messages from the messages from the President of the United States and the House of Representatives, reports from executive branch officials, petitions from citizens, memorials from states, and committee reports, and the introduction of bills and submission of resolutions.

Although the name implies that routine business is exclusive to the morning, morning business can in fact be carried out at any time during the legislative day via unanimous consent.
