Just yesterday, a new poll was released showing that 75 percent of Americans think that witnesses should be called in the Senate trial — including 75 percent of independents and almost half of Republicans. Today, Republican senators are set to block witnesses from appearing and acquit this lawless president by Friday without a fair trial.

In days gone by the Bank of England knew how to step in and help ailing banks. The London Approach came to the fore in the 1970s when the secondary bank market faced collapse.

A non-binding resolution is a written motion adopted by a deliberative body that cannot progress into a law. The substance of the resolution can be anything that can normally be proposed as a motion.
This type of resolution is often used to express the body's approval or disapproval of something which they cannot otherwise vote on,[1] due to the matter being handled by another jurisdiction, or being protected by a constitution. An example would be a resolution of support for a nation's troops in battle, which carries no legal weight, but is adopted for moral support.
