A concurrent resolution is how the Senate and the House settle something they do together, such as a budget plan or a joint session. It is adopted once both chambers agree to it, and that puts it into effect; it is not a law, so it does not go to the President.

What this bill would do

This concurrent resolution proposes a joint session of Congress to take place in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The event is scheduled for Thursday, July 2, 2026. The purpose of this gathering is to honor the semiquincentennial, or 250th anniversary, of the Declaration of Independence. The session is intended to be held at the Independence National Historical Park. This follows historical precedents where Congress has convened outside of Washington, D.C.
