Introduced on January 13, 2025 by Marjorie Taylor Greene
Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committee on Intelligence (Permanent Select), for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
This House resolution is a statement, not a new law. It says the National Security Agency’s bulk phone records program was unconstitutional and urges the federal government to drop all charges against Edward Snowden . The official title makes clear the goal is to have the government drop all charges against him .
What this means for people: if adopted, it would be the House sharing its opinion. It would not by itself change any laws, end any cases, or free anyone. It puts pressure on the government to act and signals support for stronger privacy protections and against broad phone data collection .
