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 resolution reaffirms the United States' commitment to partnering with Honduras to counter narcotics, address migration, and promote economic development. It specifically condemns the President's decision to pardon former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez following his conviction for drug trafficking. The resolution emphasizes the necessity of fair elections and underscores the importance of rule of law. It also urges the Department of State to increase efforts against corruption and narcotics through sanctions and law-enforcement cooperation. Finally, it rejects the unauthorized use of military force that results in deaths without trial.
