The bill passed without amendment. Does anyone else think that Congress should have better things to do? Please, don't let this turn into a political thread... I just thought it was funny.

Click on Text of Legislation... it gets funnier.
Judging from my days as a football videographer down at Irmo High's athletic department, such resolutions for championship winners are common on the state level--I can only assume they are proportionally common on the national level. (Actually, it even crosses borders--the State of New Hampshire congratulated 343, a South Carolina team, for their 2003 Chairman's win at Peachtree.) It's just the legislative form of a letter of congratulations.

Step 1) Collect a list of accomplishments of the group in question.
Step 2) Write in the form of a resolution.
Step 3) Submit
Step 4) ???
Step 5) Profit!
