<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Senate on Thursday voted to commemorate Charlie Kirk and honor the assassinated conservative commentator by promoting civic engagement. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The <a href="https://www.rickscott.senate.gov/services/files/55A19212-1EC1-4868-A72B-8E271E2D81B2">resolution</a> designates October 14, Kirk’s birthday, as the “National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk” and calls for Americans to remember his legacy. It was introduced by Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) and co-sponsored by nearly two dozen other Republicans, passing by unanimous consent and a voice vote.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The motion “recognizes Charlie Kirk for his contribution to civic education and public service” and “encourages educational institutions, civic organizations, and citizens across the United States to observe this day with appropriate programs, activities, prayers, and ceremonies that promote civic engagement and the principles of faith, liberty, and democracy that Charlie Kirk championed.”</span></p>
<p>The move was largely ceremonial and doesn’t have the same impact as a law.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Charlie was a good man — a devout husband, father, and friend. His life was shaped by his faith and the idea that in America, debate and discussion are crucial to the betterment of our country,” Scott <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vyCdknj8V0">said</a> from the Senate floor. “He believed in God, the American dream, the value of family, and the principles of our great nation.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Charlie was never afraid to have a discussion. He didn’t care if you agreed or disagreed with his ideas. He welcomed the opportunity to respectfully and peacefully debate ideas in the court of public opinion,” Scott added. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A similar House resolution to honor Kirk </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">caused division among Democrats. After a meeting on Thursday, Democratic House leadership agreed to vote in favor of a resolution from House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) that recognizes Kirk and condemns all political violence. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Johnson’s resolution “honors the life, leadership, and legacy of Charlie Kirk, whose steadfast dedication to the Constitution, civil discourse, and Biblical truth inspired a generation to cherish and defend the blessings of liberty.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It also calls “upon all Americans — regardless of race, party affiliation, or creed — to reject political violence, recommit to respectful debate, uphold American values, and respect one another as fellow Americans.”</span></p>
<p>The House voted to adopt Johnson’s resolution on Friday, with 58 Democrats voting against it and 38 voting present. All Republicans and 95 Democrats voted in support.</p>
