Condemning and censuring President Donald Trump.
HRES 1065 is a House resolution condemning President Donald Trump for reposting a video on February 5, 2026, that depicted former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama as primates - a depiction described in the resolution as a racist trope. The resolution formally censures Trump for this post, which violated his oath to uphold the Constitution, and calls on him to apologize. It directly affects the President by formally rebuking his conduct as head of the executive branch. The resolution has no legal effect but serves as a symbolic rebuke by the House of Representatives.
