Introduced and handed to a committee in the chamber it started in.

The committee holds it, and most bills are never heard from again. A hearing or a committee vote would be news; silence is the usual outcome, and it kills the bill without anyone voting against it.

Its path through Congress

  1. Introduced
  2. In Committee

A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution acknowledges the courage and sacrifice of veterans of the Korean War and Korean Defense Veterans. It notes that the Korean War began on June 25, 1950, when North Korea invaded the Republic of Korea. The text highlights that nearly 1,800,000 members of the United States Armed Forces served alongside the Republic of Korea and other allied nations. It also points out that the Korean Peninsula still technically remains in a state of war since the 1953 cease-fire. Ultimately, the House of Representatives seeks to recognize the importance of the contributions and sacrifices made by these veterans.
