 RESOLUTION

 Expressing the sense of the Senate concerning the nomination of 
 President Donald John Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Whereas the will of businessman and entrepreneur Alfred Nobel stated that the 
 Nobel Prizes should be awarded to those ``who, during the preceding 
 year, shall have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind'';
Whereas Alfred Nobel's will further stated that the Peace Prize should be 
 awarded to the person ``who shall have done the most or the best work 
 for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of 
 standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses'';
Whereas President Barack Hussein Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 
 October 2009 for his alleged ``extraordinary efforts to strengthen 
 international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples'';
Whereas President Obama authorized 2 drone strikes on January 23, 2009, his 3rd 
 day as President, that killed as many as 20 civilians;
Whereas President Obama authorized an additional 541 drone strikes;
Whereas the additional drone strikes authorized by President Obama killed an 
 estimated 3,797 people, including 324 civilians;
Whereas President Obama reportedly told members of his senior staff, ``Turns out 
 I'm really good at killing people. Didn't know that was gonna be a 
 strong suit of mine.'';
Whereas killing hundreds of civilians should disqualify someone from receiving 
 the Nobel Peace Prize;
Whereas President Obama forced regime change in a sovereign nation;
Whereas President Obama admitted that ``failing to plan for the day after'' 
 regime change was the ``worst mistake'' of his presidency;
Whereas the forced regime change imposed by President Obama contributed to the 
 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, which resulted in the death of 4 
 people of the United States, including the United States Ambassador;
Whereas there has been no attempt to revoke the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to 
 President Obama;
Whereas President Obama championed an agreement with the Islamic Republic of 
 Iran to purportedly place restrictions on the nuclear program of Iran in 
 exchange for sanctions relief;
Whereas this so-called agreement unfroze approximately $100,000,000,000 worth of 
 frozen assets;
Whereas this bad deal did not stop Iran from continuing to pursue its malign 
 nuclear ambitions;
Whereas Iran continued to pose a threat to Israel, the United States, and all 
 peace-loving nations after President Obama allowed Iran to take 
 advantage of the United States through the nuclear agreement;
Whereas President Donald John Trump made a good faith attempt at diplomatic 
 negotiations to end the Iranian threat after assuming office in 2025;
Whereas Iran refused to negotiate on its nuclear program in good faith;
Whereas the greatest ally of the United States, Israel, was left with no choice 
 but to unilaterally end the Iranian nuclear threat;
Whereas the only action ordered by President Trump was a precision strike on 3 
 nuclear sites in Iran;
Whereas those strikes resulted in no casualties;
Whereas those strikes further brought about ceasefire between Israel and Iran;
Whereas the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to the organization Nihon 
 Hidankyo of Japan for its efforts to achieve a world free of nuclear 
 weapons and for demonstrating through witness testimony that nuclear 
 weapons must never be used again;
Whereas President Trump successfully ended the nuclear weapons program of Iran;
Whereas the end to the Iranian nuclear program achieved by President Trump came 
 without military personnel on the ground; and
Whereas President Trump has shown the world that peace through strength is the 
 antidote to forever wars: Now, therefore, be it
 Resolved, That the Senate--

    (1) calls on the Norwegian Nobel Committee to award 
 President Donald John Trump the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize;

    (2) urges all peace-loving nations to join in that call; 
 and

    (3) expresses its deepest appreciation to President Trump 
 for bringing an end both to the nuclear program of Iran and 
 hostilities related thereto in only 12 days.
