Very likely to pass
Resolutions honoring the life of long-serving public officials usually pass without much trouble, even if some parts of their career were controversial.
Key Points
This resolution honors Robert Mueller, who passed away in March 2026. It recognizes his long career as a Marine in the Vietnam War, a federal prosecutor, the Director of the FBI, and a Special Counsel.
The proposal highlights his military service, where he earned a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart. It also notes his work leading the FBI for 12 years, starting just before the September 11 attacks, and his role in transforming the agency to fight terrorism.
This is a ceremonial action that does not change any laws or spend any taxpayer money. It is a formal way for the Senate to show respect for Mueller's work and send a message of sympathy to his family.
