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 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.

What this bill would do

This resolution remembers the 105th anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party coming to power in 2026. It highlights the countless lives destroyed and the people currently living in fear of the party's tyrannical ambitions. The text lists historical events, such as the Yan'an Rectification Movement, the Chinese Land Reform, and the Tiananmen Square Massacre, where millions suffered loss, suffering, or death. It also notes ongoing issues like the treatment of Uighur Muslims, Tibetan Buddhists, and efforts to destroy independent religious expression. Finally, the Senate resolves to solemnly remember these destroyed lives and those living in fear.
