SRES 24 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A resolution condemning the commutation of the death sentence of Anthony George Battle granted by President Biden on December 23, 2024.

SRES 24 is a formal Senate resolution condemning President Biden's December 23, 2024, decision to commute the death sentence of Anthony George Battle. The resolution states the Senate believes this action undermined justice, as Battle was convicted of murdering his wife (a U.S. Marine) and later bludgeoned a correctional officer to death while in prison. The resolution does not create new laws or affect any individuals; it is solely a symbolic expression of the Senate's disapproval. It has no legal effect beyond the Senate's official statement.
