Honoring the foundational principle of separation of church and state, opposing extreme right-wing Christian nationalism, and recognizing the 65th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy's address to the Greater Houston Ministerial Association and 150th anniversary of President Ulysses S. Grant's speech to the Society of the Army of the Tennessee.

H. Res. 773 is a non-binding House resolution that articulates support for the separation of church and state, explicitly opposing what it terms extreme right-wing Christian nationalism, and marks two historical anniversaries: the 65th anniversary of John F. Kennedy’s 1960 address to the Greater Houston Ministerial Association and the 150th anniversary of Ulysses S. Grant’s 1875 speech to the Society of the Army of the Tennessee. The resolution frames separation of church and state as a foundational American principle rooted in the First Amendment and longstanding Supreme Court interpretations. While it reiterates historical commitments to religious freedom and non-coercion in government, its provisions are largely symbolic and rhetorical, with no new statutory powers or funding. The sponsors (led by Rep. Ansari and others) introduced the measure in the 119th Congress and referred it to the Judiciary Committee. As a resolution, its effect is to express the House’s views and encourage reflection and public education on the principle of church-state separation, rather than to enact or enforce policy.
