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 recognizes the annual football game between the United States Military Academy and the United States Naval Academy as "America's Game." It notes that the game is a tradition dating back to 1890 that serves as a symbol of patriotism and unity. The resolution states that the game is an important influence on military recruiting. It expresses the sense of the Senate that the game should maintain its status as the only college football game aired during its scheduled time slot on the second Saturday of December. Additionally, it suggests that various institutions avoid scheduling other games during this time. Finally, it calls on federal agencies to review policies to better promote the game's civic importance.
