This concurrent resolution directs Congress to hold a joint session in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on July 2, 2026, to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. The session will take place at Independence National Historical Park, the historic site where the Declaration was adopted on July 4, 1776. The resolution recognizes Philadelphia's significance as the nation's birthplace and its role as the meeting place for the Continental Congresses and Constitutional Convention. The joint session serves as a formal congressional tribute to mark this semiquincentennial milestone in American history. No specific funding or implementation details are provided in the resolution, as it is primarily a ceremonial measure organizing a special congressional gathering.
