Referred to the Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties.
This resolution expresses the official opinion of Congress that certain high-level officials should not belong to clubs that discriminate by sex or race. It does not create any new law or penalties; rather it states Congress' view and urges that public officials meet a higher standard of conduct. It is a nonbinding statement meant to publicly record and encourage that expectation.
Concurrent resolutions must be approved by both the House and the Senate but are not sent to the President and do not have the force of law. They are typically used to express Congress' opinion or handle internal congressional matters.
This concurrent resolution expresses the sense of Congress that the President, Vice President, Members of Congress, federal judges, and executive political appointees should not belong to clubs that discriminate on the basis of sex or race.
It is a non‑binding statement of principle reaffirming that public officials have a higher ethical standard and discouraging membership in discriminatory private clubs.
Concurrent resolution is advisory and cannot create law; adoption by both chambers possible, but it would not become statute.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a concise non-binding statement expressing Congressional disapproval of public officials' membership in clubs that discriminate on the basis of sex or race. It clearly states the value judgment and the categories of covered officials but intentionally provides no enforcement, fiscal, or implementation specifics.
