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

What this bill would do

This resolution honors the life, achievements, and legacy of former United States Senator Christopher ``Kit'' Bond of Missouri. It recognizes his service as Missouri's State Auditor and as the 47th and 49th Governor of Missouri. The text highlights his four terms in the United States Senate representing Missouri. It notes his work regarding infrastructure, farmers, and national defense. Finally, the Senate expresses regret over his death and directs the communication of this resolution to the House of Representatives and his family.
