A resolution to authorize testimony and representation in United States v. Crouse.

S.Res. 609 is a non-binding resolution that would authorize Senate members to provide testimony and legal representation in the federal court case United States v. Crouse. This type of resolution does not have the force of law and does not require presidential signature.

The resolution was introduced on February 12, 2026, and passed the Senate the same day by unanimous consent without amendment. Since this is a non-binding resolution, it serves as an authorization or expression of the Senate's position rather than creating enforceable legal obligations. The practical effect would be to formally permit designated Senate members or staff to participate in the litigation as witnesses or legal representatives as needed.
