Its path through Congress

  1. Introduced

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 resolution calls for official recognition and remembrance of the Nakba. It seeks to support social services for refugees through the United Nations Relief and Works Agency.
