Fight some ignorance, please. The OP describes the resolution as “legislation.” Is that an appropriate term to use for a resolution? I suppose an argument could be advanced that “legislation” is a generic term that is correctly applied to any piece of paper that a legislative body votes on; thus a resolution does count as legislation, but is that argument accepted widely? ---

Wow. From the “Show me” state, to “show you some idiocy” in one swift move. Do you ever wonder just what is on the minds of people like this? Seriously, what can be their world view? Are they even aware of a world/country/state/county beyond their own? I bet he eats stupid food for breakfast.
