In committee

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 bill recognizes the 110th anniversary of the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Library and Museums, which is the nation's first presidential library. It notes that 2026 marks both this library milestone and the 150th anniversary of Rutherford B. Hayes' presidential campaign. The text highlights the history of the library, its collection of historical artifacts, and its role as a model for federal presidential libraries. It also connects these milestones to the 250th anniversary of American independence. Finally, the resolution encourages Americans to reflect on the nation's history and celebrate civic responsibility.
