Bill > SRes108

This resolution affirms fundamental principles of the U.S. constitutional system, specifically addressing the role and authority of the federal judiciary. The resolution emphasizes that the Constitution establishes three separate but equal branches of government, with Article III specifically vesting judicial power in the Supreme Court and other federal courts. It references the landmark 1803 Marbury v. Madison Supreme Court decision, which established the principle of judicial review, allowing federal courts to determine if legislative or executive actions violate the Constitution. The resolution responds to recent comments by Vice President Vance and other officials that seemingly suggested the executive branch might ignore judicial rulings, which the resolution argues would constitute a serious constitutional crisis. Ultimately, the resolution explicitly affirms that the judicial branch has the constitutional authority to interpret law, and that the executive branch is constitutionally required to comply with federal court rulings, thereby reinforcing the separation of powers and the rule of law in the United States governmental system.
