Plain-English Summary

This resolution expresses Congress's support for the principle that courts have the authority to review laws and government actions to ensure they follow the Constitution, a power known as judicial review. The measure affirms that the rule of law—the idea that everyone, including government officials, must follow established legal rules—is a fundamental part of the American system. It does not create new laws or policies but rather makes a statement about Congress's commitment to these core legal principles.
