 RESOLUTION

 Expressing support for and honoring September 17, 2025, as 
 ``Constitution Day''.

Whereas the Constitution of the United States was signed on September 17, 1787, 
 by 39 delegates from 12 States;
Whereas the Constitution was subsequently ratified by each of the original 13 
 States;
Whereas the Constitution was drafted in order to form a more perfect Union, 
 establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common 
 defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of 
 liberty for the citizens of the United States;
Whereas the United States, made a more perfect Union through the signing of the 
 Constitution, is celebrating its semiquincentennial anniversary in 2026;
Whereas the Constitution has provided the means and structure for this Nation 
 and its citizens that is unparalleled by any other country;
Whereas the Constitution's contributions to the welfare of the human race reach 
 far beyond the borders of the United States;
Whereas the House of Representatives continues to strive to preserve and 
 strengthen the values and rights bestowed by the Constitution upon the 
 United States and its citizens;
Whereas the Constitution is recognized by many to be the most significant and 
 important document in history for establishing freedom and justice 
 through democracy;
Whereas the Constitution deserves the recognition, respect, and reverence of all 
 people in the United States;
Whereas every person in the United States should celebrate the freedom and 
 responsibilities of the Constitution;
Whereas the preservation of such values and rights in the hearts and minds of 
 United States citizens would be advanced by official recognition of the 
 signing of the Constitution;
Whereas, as the 250th anniversary of the Nation approaches, the people of the 
 United States should reflect upon the words and meaning of the 
 Constitution; and
Whereas September 17, 2025, is designated as ``Constitution Day'': Now, 
 therefore, be it
 Resolved, That the House of Representatives--

    (1) supports ``Constitution Day''; and

    (2) calls upon the people of the United States to observe 
 the day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
