Summary
This resolution expresses the formal opinion of the House of Representatives regarding the events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. It states that former President Donald Trump intentionally incited the incident and calls for the prosecution or sanctioning of any individuals involved, including Members of Congress.
As a "simple resolution," this measure is a non-binding statement of the House's position and does not create new laws or mandate specific legal actions. For citizens, its primary impact is as a formal record of the House's stance on accountability for the events of that day rather than a change in federal policy or criminal code. Since its introduction in January 2023, the bill has been referred to the Committee on the Judiciary and the Committee on Ethics for further consideration.
