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 general elections in Venezuela. It asserts that the Venezuelan people should be able to elect leaders through a fair and democratic process. The text notes that a majority of Venezuelans support the democratic opposition led by Maria Corina Machado and Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia. It further states that the Maduro-Rodriguez regime lacks international legitimacy and the support of the Venezuelan people. Additionally, the resolution claims it is in the national interest of the United States to have a free Venezuela that is not influenced by China, Iran, and Cuba. Finally, it calls for the use of all diplomatic tools to support free and fair elections that are internationally monitored.
