Whereas the Constitution of the United States was signed on September 17, 1787, by 39 delegates from 12 States; Whereas the Constitution was subsequently ratified by each of the original 13 States; Whereas the Constitution was drafted in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty for the citizens of the United States; Whereas the United States, made a more perfect Union through the signing of the Constitution, is celebrating its semiquincentennial anniversary in 2026; Whereas the Constitution has provided the means and structure for this Nation and its citizens that is unparalleled by any other country; Whereas the Constitution’s contributions to the welfare of the human race reach far beyond the borders of the United States; Whereas the House of Representatives continues to strive to preserve and strengthen the values and rights bestowed by the Constitution upon the United States and its citizens; Whereas the Constitution is recognized by many to be the most significant and important document in history for establishing freedom and justice through democracy; Whereas the Constitution deserves the recognition, respect, and reverence of all people in the United States; Whereas every person in the United States should celebrate the freedom and responsibilities of the Constitution; Whereas the preservation of such values and rights in the hearts and minds of United States citizens would be advanced by official recognition of the signing of the Constitution; Whereas, as the 250th anniversary of the Nation approaches, the people of the United States should reflect upon the words and meaning of the Constitution; and Whereas September 17, 2025, is designated as Constitution Day : Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives— (1) supports Constitution Day ; and (2) calls upon the people of the United States to observe the day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
