This resolution expresses the sense of the House that the U.S. now faces a more complex and grave set of threats than at any time since the end of World War II, and that using continuing resolutions to fund defense activities puts servicemembers at risk, harms national security, and aids America’s adversaries. Continuing resolutions are used to extend funding for the federal government at previously appropriated levels to prevent a lapse until Congress appropriates new funding.

As a simple resolution, this legislation wouldn’t advance beyond the House if passed or have the force of law.
