A resolution recognizing the national debt as a threat to national security.

SRES 87 is a non-binding Senate resolution recognizing the national debt as a threat to U.S. national security. It does not create new laws or affect any individuals or groups; instead, it formally states the Senate's position based on cited debt statistics (e.g., $31 trillion debt in 2023) and warnings from past defense and intelligence officials. The resolution commits the Senate to restoring regular budgeting procedures and preventing a fiscal crisis, but contains no enforceable policy changes. This is a symbolic statement, not a legislative action.
