CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

Senate Roll Call 645

119th Congress · Session 1 · December 11, 2025

The vote on whether to adopt the resolution

A resolution is one chamber speaking for itself — setting its own rules, taking a position, honouring someone — and it never goes to the President. Agreeing to it is the whole decision.
