SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, It is incumbent on elected officials at all levels
of government to work together in order to advance the will of the
people and help create a more prosperous future for our country; and
WHEREAS, When the President of the United States threatens
any member of the Texas Senate, it must be considered a threat to
all Texas Senators, as well as a threat to the civility and decorum
that are essential to a functioning democracy; moreover, the
president and the members of the executive branch of the federal
government should not focus on intimidating elected officials and
should instead focus on creating common sense legislation and
policies for the betterment of our country; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the 85th Legislature of the State of Texas
hereby encourage the President of the United States to refrain from
threatening elected officials.
