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

This resolution honors the service and sacrifice of six Air Force members who died in an accident involving a KC-135 Stratotanker aircraft. The accident occurred on March 12, 2026, while the aircraft was supporting Operation Epic Fury over western Iraq. The fallen service members included Major John A. Klinner, Major Ariana G. Savino, Technical Sergeant Ashley B. Pruitt, Captain Seth R. Koval, Captain Curtis J. Angst, and Master Sergeant Tyler H. Simmons. The Senate seeks to honor their memory and express gratitude to their families. Additionally, the resolution requests that the Secretary of the Senate transmit a copy of this resolution to their respective military units.
