Bill > HCRes48

This joint resolution authorizes the remains of Charles James Kirk to lie in honor in the Capitol rotunda, which is a prestigious ceremonial space located in the center of the United States Capitol building. The resolution, passed jointly by the House of Representatives and the Senate, specifies that the specific date and duration of the lying in honor will be determined by the Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate, in consultation with the Architect of the Capitol. The resolution highlights Kirk's lifetime commitment to important democratic principles such as freedom of speech, civil political discourse, and youth political engagement. By granting this honor, Congress is recognizing Kirk's contributions to civic life and providing a formal opportunity for public remembrance and tribute in a location traditionally reserved for national heroes and distinguished public servants.
