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 resolution recognizes the 250th anniversary of the United States Army. It notes that the Continental Army was authorized on June 14, 1775, by the Second Continental Congress. The text highlights the Army's mission to fight and win wars and notes the historical battles fought by its soldiers. It also lists the core values that soldiers live and serve by. Finally, the resolution expresses appreciation for the soldiers' dedication and calls for the public to observe the anniversary through various activities.
