RESOLUTION

Recognizing Father's Day and the role a father plays in the lives of 
children and adults.

Whereas Father's Day is celebrated on the third Sunday of June and will be 
celebrated in the United States on Sunday, June 21, 2026;
Whereas fathers play an important role in the lives of their children by 
improving their--

(1) emotional well-being;

(2) social well-being;

(3) educational success; and

(4) economic well-being;

Whereas children with present or engaged fathers are--

(1) less likely to repeat a grade;

(2) more likely to enter college or find stable employment after high 
school;

(3) less likely to go to jail;

(4) less likely to experience a teen birth; and

(5) less likely to experience mental health disorders;

Whereas children without present or engaged fathers--

(1) represent the vast majority of runaway children;

(2) represent the vast majority of juveniles in State-operated 
institutions;

(3) are more likely to have children outside of marriage or 
partnership;

(4) are more likely to be involved in gangs; and

(5) are much more likely to live in poverty; and

Whereas the genuine love of a father is irreplaceable, and the positive outcomes 
generated by the love and support of a father prove both the 
irreplaceable role a father fills and the responsibility fathers have in 
caring for their children and families: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) acknowledges the importance of efforts by fathers to 
engage and to provide continuous physical and emotional support 
to children and families;
(2) acknowledges that sustained engagement by a father 
throughout the life of a child is a privileged responsibility 
that fulfills the father as much as the child; and
(3) wishes all fathers and father figures in the United 
States a happy Father's Day.
