The session began with the arrival of President Stanisław August Poniatowski, when Speaker of the House Stanisław Małachowski noted that the military matters presented by the Speaker from Lithuania-Belarus, Prince Kazimierz Sapieha, during the last session had not been decided. Secretary Jan Łuszczewski then read the proposed amendments—which suggested that only five military officers currently in service could be elected, with the condition that they served the Union personally for six years.

Representative Stefan Zambrzycki from Nur expressed his respect for military individuals, noting their sacrifices for the country. However, he argued that military officers could not fulfill civilian duties without neglecting their military responsibilities. Józef Zajączek from Podolia added that excluding military personnel from the legislative process because of their service would be unfair. Ignacy Siwicki from Troki argued for equal opportunities for military persons as well, citing historical precedents.

Prince Kazimierz Sapieha emphasized the importance of the military, especially in urgent situations where the nation needed protection. Meanwhile, President Poniatowski cautioned against creating divisions between military and civilian individuals within the Union and advocated for military participation in legislation as long as they have consent from their superiors.

Due to a lack of consensus on the amendments, Speaker Małachowski called for a vote on the eligibility of military individuals (with a minimum of six years of service) for Polish-Ukrainian functions. The affirmative votes outnumbered the negatives, leading to the decision that military individuals, after six years of service and possessing an inherited estate, could be elected to the House of Representatives.

Marcin Rakowski from Bracław insisted on safeguards to prevent military officials from being chosen for certain civil offices. Ignacy Krzucki from Volhynia proposed an addition to accommodate those returning to civilian life after six years of military service, similar to the benefits given to civil-military commissioners. Józef Mierzejewski from Podolia asked for an exemption from the service requirement for those already serving in public functions based on older laws.

Stanisław Gorski from Lithuania-Belarus suggested that any military officer elected to Congress should not receive military pay during their term. Prince Sapieha opposed this idea, stating that soldiers should be allowed to receive pay especially when serving their country in legislative matters. Jan Suchorzewski from Kalisz argued for postponing the decision on this matter to a more appropriate time, while Walerian Strojanowski from Volhynia supported the inclusion in the debate.

Lastly, President Poniatowski, upon hearing Representative Zieliński's argument against penalizing military officials during their term in Congress, expressed surprise at such divisive discussions. He called for unity and for dismissing any hints of discord, then using his presidential authority, adjourned the session until the next day.

The session concluded with confusion among the members about the adjournment, but after clarification from those closer to the President's position, the session was indeed adjourned and members dispersed.
