(7,373 posts)36. The Day of Remembrance resolution was separate from the main resolution
honoring Kirk and appears to only have been passed by the Senate, not the House. And the day of Remembrance is a single day, October 14, 2025. It does not establish a permanent day of remembrance.

The House resolution honored Kirk and called for an end to all political violence. The Senate reolution was different.
