Critics Say
Critics might argue such resolutions use legislative time for non-policy matters, though typically they are uncontroversial.
Resolutions congratulating sports teams are generally non-controversial and pass with widespread support. They serve to acknowledge and commend the hard work, dedication, and success of individuals and institutions. There is typically no organized opposition to such measures, as they do not enact new laws or allocate funds, but rather serve as a formal expression of congressional sentiment.
