The resolution, introduced by Rep. Koleszar, condemns the presidential pardons granted by President Donald Trump to individuals involved in the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the United States Capitol. It emphasizes the importance of the peaceful transfer of power as a fundamental principle of American democracy and highlights the violence and chaos that erupted during the joint session of Congress, which was meant to affirm the election of President-elect Joe Biden. The resolution points out that the insurrection resulted in multiple deaths, injuries to law enforcement, and significant damage to the Capitol, attributing the incitement of this violence to President Trump's inflammatory rhetoric and false claims of election fraud.

The resolution calls for a united condemnation of the pardons, which it views as a dangerous act that releases violent criminals back into the community. It specifically notes that at least twenty-six individuals from Michigan were among those pardoned. The resolution concludes by stating that copies will be sent to key congressional leaders and the Michigan congressional delegation to ensure that the message is communicated at the federal level.
