Last activity — Resolution agreed to in Senate without amendment and with a preamble by Unanimous Consent. (consideration: CR S90; text: CR 12/11/2025 S8677)

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. 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

This resolution commends Centenary College of Louisiana on its bicentennial. The college was established in 1825 and later merged with Centenary College in 1845. It is recognized as the oldest chartered liberal arts college west of the Mississippi River. The resolution notes the institution's history, including its relocation to Shreveport in 1908. Finally, the Senate commends the college for its service to the State of Louisiana and the United States.
