Expressing the sense of the Senate that Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert Fitzgerald Kennedy Jr. does not have the confidence of the Senate or of the American people to faithfully carry out the duties of his office and should be removed from his position.

Summary

Alleges that the Secretary of Health and Human Services engaged in a pattern of actions — including cancelling roughly $11 billion in public health grants, ordering large-scale workforce reductions, pausing or terminating clinical trials and research projects, and removing senior career officials — and asserts those actions violated federal law and harmed public health. The preamble cites lawsuits, Government Accountability Office and Senate Finance Committee reports, and reported public-health effects (measles outbreaks, hospitalizations, deaths) as grounds for the resolution's findings.
