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

  1. Introduced
  2. Officially Recorded
  3. Adopted by the Senate unanimous consent

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

The Senate by unanimous consent (no one objected, so there was no vote): no senator's position on it was recorded.

What this bill would do

S. Res. 207 is a resolution to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Grand Ole Opry. It recognizes the history of the show, from its start as the WSM Barn Dance in 1925 to its current status as the longest-running radio show in the United States. The resolution honors the legacy of the Opry, its artists, and its role in making Nashville the country music capital of the world. The Senate officially commemorates these contributions and congratulates the Grand Ole Opry family.
