Quote the text, not the summary. A Georgia Senate resolution commends Donald J. Trump for his re-election as president and praises his first-term policies, expressing the Senate's support for his continued leadership. ### Plain-language summary This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a law that changes anyone's rights or obligations. It recounts Donald J. Trump's re-election on November 5, 2024, his appointments to federal courts and administration positions, and his first-term record on the economy, energy policy, immigration, and foreign affairs. The resolution's operative section formally commends Trump for his re-election and policies and wishes him continued success. It also directs the Secretary of the Senate to make copies available to the public and press. It does not amend any Georgia statute, create any program, or spend any state funds. ### What it does - Formally commends Donald J. Trump for his re-election as the 47th President and for his policy record. - Extends the Georgia Senate's best wishes for his continued leadership, without creating any legal obligation. - Directs the Secretary of the Senate to make copies of the resolution available to the public and press. - Recites a list of Trump's first-term policy actions and appointments as background rather than as binding law. ### Who it affects This resolution mainly affects the Georgia Senate itself, as a statement of its members' views. It does not impose duties or grant benefits to Georgia residents, agencies, or businesses; it names President Donald J. Trump as the person being honored. ### Why it matters As a commendation, this resolution has no legal effect on Georgia law, funding, or residents. Its significance is symbolic: it records the Georgia Senate's formal position praising a sitting president's re-election and record, which becomes part of the public legislative record. ### Key provisions - The 'WHEREAS' clauses recite Trump's 2024 re-election, his appointments, and his first-term policy record on the economy, energy, courts, immigration, and foreign policy. - The resolving clause formally commends Trump for his re-election and conservative policies and wishes him continued success. - A further resolved clause directs the Secretary of the Senate to distribute copies of the resolution to the public and press. ## Status - Status: Introduced (2025-01-15) - Last action: Senate Read and Referred (2025-01-16) - Sponsors: Steve Gooch, Jason Anavitarte, John Kennedy, Carden Summers, Blake Tillery, Billy Hickman, John Albers, Bo Hatchett, Brian Strickland, Mike Hodges, Ed Setzler, Ricky Williams, Larry Walker, Timothy Bearden, Drew Echols, Sam Watson, Frank Ginn, Max Burns, Greg Dolezal, Marty Harbin - Official page: https://www.legis.ga.gov/legislation/69367 > The history, votes, and amendments (95 characters) are at https://georgiacommons.org/bills/2025-2026/sr14.md?full=1
