Referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
This resolution is a House simple resolution that formally congratulates the University of Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team, recognizes players and staff, invites the team to the U.S. Capitol, and directs the Clerk to provide copies of the resolution to University officials. It is an internal, ceremonial action by the House and does not create legal rights or change federal law. The resolution simply records the House's sentiment and arranges a formal honor.
Simple resolutions are considered and voted on only in the House of Representatives, require a majority vote in that chamber to pass, are not sent to the President, and do not have the force of law outside the House.
This simple House resolution congratulates the University of Michigan Wolverines men’s basketball team for winning the 2026 NCAA Division I championship, recognizes players and staff, invites the team to the U.S. Capitol for honors, and directs the Clerk to provide enrolled copies to university officials for display.
House commemorative resolutions do not become law; adoption in the House is likely but enactment into law is effectively impossible.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a well-constructed commemorative House resolution: it clearly states the occasion, provides factual context, and contains concrete but limited administrative actions appropriate to recognizing a championship victory.
