Referred to the House Committee on House Administration.
This resolution is a House simple resolution that states the House of Representatives specific positions: honoring Senator Lindsey Graham, condemning Omar Suleiman’s statement, and supporting concerns about Sharia law. It does not create or change law, does not apply to the Senate or the President, and does not require enactment by the other chamber or the President. Its practical effect is to record and publicize the House majority's views and to guide internal House messaging.
Simple resolutions are considered and voted on only in the House, where they typically need a majority vote to pass; they are not sent to the Senate or the President and are nonbinding statements of the House's position.
This House resolution honors the late Senator Lindsey Graham, condemns Omar Suleiman for publicly celebrating Graham’s death, notes that House Democrats invited Suleiman to deliver a 2019 guest invocation, repeats several allegations about Suleiman’s past statements and activities, and expresses support for House Republican efforts to raise concerns about Sharia law and its compatibility with U.S. constitutional principles.
As a House simple resolution it cannot become law; adoption is plausible but legal enactment is effectively impossible.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill functions as a conventional symbolic House resolution: it clearly states its purposes and uses customary declaratory language, but contains no implementation mechanisms, fiscal estimates, statutory amendments, or accountability provisions.
Progressives see the resolution as discriminatory; conservatives see it as accountability.

Likely to oppose most of the resolution’s framing.
They would accept honoring Senator Graham’s service and condemning celebratory statements about a death, but object to singling out a Muslim religious leader and to language that links criticism of one person to broad claims about Islam or “Sharia.”
Mixed reaction: supportive of honoring Senator Graham and condemning celebrating deaths, but concerned the resolution politicizes House traditions and uses broad, potentially inflammatory language about Sharia and a named individual without documented findings.
Generally favorable: praises honoring Senator Graham, supports condemning someone who celebrated his death, and approves highlighting concerns about Sharia and ideological threats.
Some conservatives might still prefer sharper evidence for specific allegations.
