The Senate passed H.J.Res. 35 with a bipartisan vote of 52-47. The resolution now moves to the President's desk for consideration.
This vote was to approve House Joint Resolution 35 (H.J.Res. 35). A joint resolution is a specific type of legislation that, like a regular bill, requires approval from both the House and the Senate and is generally sent to the President for a signature to become law. In the Senate, this was a final passage vote. To pass, the resolution required a simple majority of the senators present and voting. A "yea" vote supported the resolution, while a "nay" vote opposed it. Because this measure has now passed the Senate, it has completed its journey through Congress. The final result was 52-47, reflecting a bipartisan outcome where both the Democratic and Republican caucuses were divided. One Republican senator did not vote. The resolution will now be sent to the President, who can either sign it into law or veto it.
