A resolution condemning the pardons for individuals who were found guilty of assaulting Capitol Police Officers.

S.Res. 42 is a non-binding resolution introduced by Senator Patty Murray that condemns 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 formal statement of the Senate's position on the matter.

If passed, this resolution would express the Senate's disapproval of these pardons but would not overturn them or change any legal outcomes. The resolution is currently in the early stages of the legislative process, having been introduced in January 2025 and referred to committee. Citizens should note that non-binding resolutions are primarily symbolic statements rather than enforceable legislation.
