Introduced Aug 27, 2026 · Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection.
What does this mean?

This is a resolution, meaning it's a formal statement of the House of Representatives' opinion rather than a law, so it doesn't change any rules for individuals or create any programs. In it, the House says it condemns and denounces socialism (an economic system where the government or community owns or controls major industries) "in all its forms," specifically naming the Democratic Socialists of America, a political organization, and says it opposes putting socialist policies in place in the United States. It also says the House supports free, fair, and secure elections, states that American elections are for American citizens only, and calls on Congress to pass the SAVE America Act, a separate bill that has not yet become law and that deals with election rules. Finally, it says the House recommits itself to upholding the U.S. Constitution. Because it is a resolution, it expresses a position but does not by itself require anyone to do anything.
