Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
This resolution expresses Congress's view that the United States should move its embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and urges the President to begin that process under the existing 1995 law. It cites the Jerusalem Embassy Act and notes that the President has the authority under that law to delay the move for national security reasons. As a concurrent resolution expressing the sense of Congress, it does not itself change the law or compel the President to act.
A concurrent resolution reflects the position of both the House and the Senate but is not presented to the President and does not have the force of law. It is a non-binding statement of Congress's opinion or intent and would need both chambers' agreement to be adopted.
