S.Res. 833 · Senate resolution Sports and Recreation

A Republican resolution with no cosponsors

Last activity — Submitted in the Senate, considered, and agreed to without amendment and with a preamble by Unanimous Consent.

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 recognizes the 1960 University of Missouri Tigers Football Team. The team completed an undefeated regular season with a record of 10 wins and 0 losses. They also defeated the United States Naval Academy in the 1961 Orange Bowl to finish with 11 wins. The resolution highlights the leadership of head coach Dan Devine and the team's dominance in the Big Eight Conference. Finally, the Senate intends to honor the players, coaches, staff, students, and supporters of the team.
