S.Res. 956 · Senate resolution Commemorations

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. (consideration: CR S5572-5573; text: CR S5575)

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 United States veterans on Veterans Day in 2026. It highlights the history of the holiday, originating from Armistice Day established by President Woodrow Wilson and later changed by Congress. The text notes that over 41,000,000 people have earned the title of veteran, with approximately 17,300,000 living veterans reported by the Department of Veterans Affairs. It recognizes that veterans have fought various threats to preserve freedom and acknowledges the great sacrifices made by their families. Furthermore, the resolution states that veterans must continue to receive the services and support they deserve, while commending veterans service organizations for their critical advocacy. Ultimately, the Senate resolves to honor veterans and calls on the American people to observe Veterans Day in recognition of these heroes.
