A resolution memorializing the President and Congress to uphold and defend the principles of federalism as a cornerstone of Americas constitutional system and the structural solution to the vast majority of problems facing our nation

This is a procedural resolution (not a bill with legal effect), introduced by Minnesota Senator Lucero. It calls on the U.S. President to issue a new executive order reaffirming federalism principles (referencing Reagan's 1987 Executive Order 12612) and requires federal agencies to conduct "federalism assessments" before creating rules, consult states early in rulemaking, establish accountability mechanisms, and justify actions that override state authority. The resolution has no legal force and cannot compel federal action - it is a symbolic statement urging the federal government to better respect state-federal power balances. Minnesota's legislature directs the Secretary of State to send this resolution to the President, Congress, and Minnesota's federal representatives.
