The resolution urges the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to condemn the expression "8647" due to its negative connotations and implications, particularly following a social media post by former FBI Director James Comey on May 15, 2025. In his post, Comey shared a photograph of seashells arranged in the formation of "8647," which has been interpreted as a coded invitation to violence against President Donald J. Trump. The resolution draws parallels to a previous incident involving Governor Gretchen Whitmer, who displayed a similar code, "8645," during an interview, suggesting that both instances contribute to a dangerous atmosphere that could incite violence against political figures.

The resolution emphasizes that while the First Amendment protects free speech, it does not extend to speech that recklessly endangers others or promotes violence. It calls for a strong disavowal of public encouragement of political violence, labeling it morally reprehensible. The House of Representatives seeks to formally communicate this condemnation to the FBI, the Governor of Michigan, and James Comey, highlighting the need for accountability and the protection of public safety in political discourse.
