Mike Johnson (R-LA)
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives regarding the terrorist attacks launched against the United States on September 11, 2001, on the 25th anniversary of that date.
A Republican resolution with no cosponsors
Last activity — Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection.
Adopted
The chamber formally agreed to it, and for a resolution that is the finish line: what it says is now officially the chamber's position, rule or tribute.
Nothing more is needed. A resolution is how a chamber speaks for itself or sets its own rules, so adopting it is what puts it into effect. It is not a law, so there is nothing for the President to sign.
Its path through Congress
- Introduced
- Adopted by the House unanimous consent
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.
The House by unanimous consent (no one objected, so there was no vote): no member's position on it was recorded.
What this bill would do
This resolution marks the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks by recognizing September 11 as a day of solemn commemoration. It extends deep sympathies to the victims, their families, and loved ones, while honoring the heroism of civilian crews, first responders, and military personnel. The text commends the military and intelligence personnel involved in removing Osama bin Laden. It reasserts the commitment of the House of Representatives to oppose violent extremism and provide necessary resources to defense and law enforcement communities. Finally, the resolution declares that the House stands adjourned out of respect to the victims of the attacks.
