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 House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This text is a resolution from the House of Representatives honoring the service and sacrifice of America's veterans on Veterans Day in 2026.

The document notes that over 41,000,000 Americans have earned the title of veteran since the country's founding. It recognizes that veterans have fought against various threats to preserve United States freedoms and acknowledges the great sacrifices made by their families. Finally, the resolution calls on the people of the United States to observe Veterans Day in recognition of these heroic actions.
