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 resolution addresses the violent attacks that occurred on June 14, 2025, in Brooklyn Park and Champlin, Minnesota. The attacks resulted in the deaths of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark Hortman, and critically injured State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette Hoffman. The House of Representatives uses this resolution to strongly condemn these acts of political violence. It honors the victims and their families while recognizing the bravery of the law enforcement officers who intervened. Finally, the resolution calls upon community leaders and the American people to denounce violence and reaffirm a commitment to a peaceful democracy.
What Congress actually voted on
One recorded vote has been taken on this bill.
- The House: a fast-track vote, needing two-thirds to passPassed 424–0
The House sets aside its normal procedure to move quickly: no amendments, little debate, and a two-thirds bar instead of a simple majority. It is used for measures expected to be uncontroversial, so a bill that fails here failed despite broad expectations that it would not.
