                               RESOLUTION


 
   Expressing condemnation of political violence and denouncing the 
      attempted assassination of Former President Donald J. Trump.

Whereas political violence undermines the democratic principles upon which our 
        nation is founded, threatening the safety and security of all citizens;
Whereas the recent attack on the former President of the United States is a 
        reprehensible act that violates the rule of law, a cornerstone of our 
        democracy;
Whereas such acts of violence serve to incite fear, division, and instability 
        within our society, detracting from constructive political discourse and 
        the pursuit of common goals;
Whereas it is the responsibility of all elected officials, political leaders, 
        and citizens to promote a culture of respect, tolerance, and nonviolence 
        in political engagements and public discourse;
Whereas the condemnation of political violence in all its forms is essential to 
        safeguarding the integrity of our democratic institutions and ensuring 
        the safety of public servants and private citizens alike;
Whereas the attack on the former President represents not only an attack on an 
        individual but also an assault on the democratic values that unite our 
        nation;
Whereas it is imperative that justice is pursued for those responsible for acts 
        of political violence, and that appropriate measures are taken to 
        prevent future occurrences; and
Whereas the strength of our democracy depends on our collective commitment to 
        resolving differences through peaceful means and upholding the rule of 
        law;
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) calls on United States Government officials and 
        politicians to--
                    (A) condemn the attempted assassination of former 
                President Donald J. Trump;
            (2) condemn political violence in all its forms;
            (3) recognize this attack as an assault not only on the 
        former President but also on our collective democracy; and
            (4) recognize that all elected officials, political 
        leaders, and citizens--
                    (A) have the freedom for spirited debate and to 
                honorably and respectfully showcase differences in 
                opinion; and
                    (B) have the responsibility to always put country 
                over political affiliation and serve the people of the 
                United States.
