Adopted by the Senate

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.

The resolution highlights the growth of the service to over 30,000 locations and its role as critical infrastructure. It honors the employees of the postal service for their work. Finally, the Senate resolves to celebrate this historic milestone and invites the public to participate.
