U.S. House Decides There Won’t Be A Resolution Honoring Those In Bin Laden Mission

The Senate may have recently, and unanimously, passed a resolution honoring those involved in the successful raid on Osama bin Laden‘s Abbottabad compound (including President Barack Obama and former president George W. Bush), but the House apparently has no plans to follow suit. The move stems from a resolution, passed in January, that sought to put an end to passing the type of congratulatory measures some in the GOP felt “clogged up the House floor.”

Now, that move is prompting criticism from House Democrats who feel that, this time, as exception should be made. Said New York Rep. Jerrold Nadler:

I don’t know why we’re not. Certainly we’ve passed a lot of resolutions for a lot less important things. I think we ought to pass a resolution honoring the military and the president. How often do you get unadulterated, unabashed, absolute good news about something really important in this country, or any country?
