## Summary

It also states the executive branch must comply with federal court rulings and warns that ignoring those rulings could precipitate a constitutional crisis. - Executive officials: The resolution makes clear the executive is expected to follow all federal court decisions and frames failure to do so as a threat to constitutional order. - Federal courts: It reasserts Article III authority and relies on Marbury v. Madison to reinforce the judiciary's role in interpreting the Constitution. - Public and constitutional stability: The resolution highlights remarks by prominent officials suggesting possible noncompliance and warns such conduct risks a constitutional crisis.
