A concurrent resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that any public rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" should be performed as written by Francis Scott Key, in English.

A concurrent resolution needs both chambers to adopt it, and is then done. It is not sent to the President and does not become law.

The record's latest action, on July 14, 2025: Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. (text: CR S4338)

1. Adoption by the Senate
2. Adoption by the House

A concurrent resolution is how the two chambers agree on something between themselves, such as a budget framework or the date they adjourn. Both chambers adopt it, the President plays no part, and it does not carry the force of law.

No. No roll call in this Congress cites this measure. That is the ordinary outcome: most measures never reach a recorded floor vote, and a committee ends most of them simply by not acting.

A vote is not the only thing that happens to a measure. Hearings, markups, and referrals are all recorded actions, and none of them is a vote of the full chamber.

Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) introduced it on July 14, 2025. No cosponsors are recorded.

Cosponsoring is a formal signature on the text. It is not a commitment to vote for the measure, it does not bind anyone's party, and a long list of cosponsors is a measure of attention rather than of prospects.

It was introduced on July 14, 2025, 423 days ago. The most recent recorded action was 423 days ago, on July 14, 2025.

Measures do not carry over. Anything the 119th Congress has not finished by January 3, 2027 dies when the term ends, and has to be introduced again from the start in the next Congress.

That deadline applies to this measure too, even though it was never headed for the President's desk.
