                               RESOLUTION


 
     Recognizing the value and importance of the Electoral College.

Whereas the framers of the Constitution of the United States established the 
        Electoral College in article II, section 1 of the Constitution, 
        America's founding document;
Whereas the Electoral College serves as a formal body which elects the President 
        and Vice President of the United States, and each State has a number of 
        electors based on the State's number of Representatives and Senators;
Whereas the Electoral College is unique to our Federal republic and provides 
        representation to an American population comprised of different 
        cultures, religions, and economic backgrounds;
Whereas the United States is not a homogeneous Nation, but historically a Nation 
        of immigrants requiring a unique electoral structure like the Electoral 
        College; and
Whereas the Electoral College encourages the smooth transition of power and 
        maintains our American system of government that protects against the 
        tyranny of the majority: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) recognizes that the Electoral College preserves the 
        concept of federalism;
            (2) recognizes that the Electoral College is uniquely 
        American; and
            (3) recognizes that the Electoral College is vital to the 
        continued preservation of our government.
