Operator notes

How and why this moved.

This is a classic commemorative simple resolution with bipartisan buy‑in and leadership cover. In a GOP‑run Senate, courtesy and precedent made unanimous consent the path of least resistance; leaders’ offices routinely green‑light these noncontroversial items near the target date. The measure bypassed committee, used no scarce floor time (UC), and presented zero PAYGO or Byrd Rule complications. Net: it was designed to pass fast, and it did.
