Condemning the pardons for individuals who were found guilty of assaulting Capitol Police Officers.

H.Res. 116 is a non-binding resolution that would express the House's disapproval of pardons issued to individuals who were found guilty of assaulting U.S. Capitol Police officers. As a non-binding resolution, this measure does not have the force of law and does not require presidential signature. Instead, it serves as a statement of congressional sentiment on the matter.

If passed, this resolution would not directly overturn or prevent any pardons that have already been issued. Rather, it would formally register the House's opposition to such pardons as a matter of record. The resolution is currently in the early stages of the legislative process, having been introduced in February 2025 and referred to committee for consideration.

For everyday citizens, this resolution reflects ongoing congressional debate about presidential pardon powers and accountability for individuals involved in violent crimes against law enforcement. However, since it is non-binding, passage would not change any legal outcomes or pardon decisions already made.
