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 expresses the sense of the Senate regarding the eligibility of Ashli Babbitt for military funeral honors. It asserts that Babbitt's actions during the January 6, 2021, attempt to breach the United States Capitol constitute disqualifying conduct. The resolution states that providing these honors would bring discredit upon the Air Force and the Armed Forces. It specifically challenges the Air Force's August 15, 2025, decision to grant these honors. Finally, the resolution seeks to protect the integrity of military honors and the sacrifices of veterans.
