Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This concurrent resolution is a symbolic statement by Congress denouncing Sharia law and opposing its implementation in the United States. The resolution argues that Sharia law, as a comprehensive legal and political system derived from Islamic texts, is fundamentally incompatible with the U.S. Constitution and American values, citing concerns about its treatment of women, religious freedom, and individual rights. The resolution does not create any new laws, establish enforcement mechanisms, or allocate funding; instead, it serves as an expression of congressional opinion asserting that the Constitution and U.S. law must remain supreme. The measure was introduced by multiple House members and referred to the Judiciary Committee in September 2026 but takes no concrete legislative action beyond the formal denunciation.
