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 a violent, targeted gunfire attack on National Guard members in Washington, D.C., on November 26, 2025.

The House of Representatives uses this resolution to honor the memory and service of these individuals. It also expresses sympathy to their families and recognizes the bravery of the responders on the scene. Finally, the House condemns the violent assault in the strongest terms.
