IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES

Mr. Moreno submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations

RESOLUTION

Whereas the will of businessman and entrepreneur Alfred Nobel stated that the Nobel Prizes should be awarded to those "who, during the preceding year, shall have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind";

Whereas Alfred Nobel’s will further stated that the Peace Prize should be awarded to the person "who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses";

Whereas President Barack Hussein Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in October 2009 for his alleged "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples";

Whereas President Obama authorized 2 drone strikes on January 23, 2009, his 3rd day as President, that killed as many as 20 civilians;

Whereas President Obama authorized an additional 541 drone strikes;

Whereas the additional drone strikes authorized by President Obama killed an estimated 3,797 people, including 324 civilians;

Whereas President Obama reportedly told members of his senior staff, "Turns out I’m really good at killing people. Didn’t know that was gonna be a strong suit of mine.";

Whereas killing hundreds of civilians should disqualify someone from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize;

Whereas President Obama forced regime change in a sovereign nation;

Whereas President Obama admitted that "failing to plan for the day after" regime change was the "worst mistake" of his presidency;

Whereas the forced regime change imposed by President Obama contributed to the terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, which resulted in the death of 4 people of the United States, including the United States Ambassador;

Whereas there has been no attempt to revoke the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to President Obama;

Whereas President Obama championed an agreement with the Islamic Republic of Iran to purportedly place restrictions on the nuclear program of Iran in exchange for sanctions relief;

Whereas this so-called agreement unfroze approximately $100,000,000,000 worth of frozen assets;

Whereas this bad deal did not stop Iran from continuing to pursue its malign nuclear ambitions;

Whereas Iran continued to pose a threat to Israel, the United States, and all peace-loving nations after President Obama allowed Iran to take advantage of the United States through the nuclear agreement;

Whereas President Donald John Trump made a good faith attempt at diplomatic negotiations to end the Iranian threat after assuming office in 2025;

Whereas Iran refused to negotiate on its nuclear program in good faith;

Whereas the greatest ally of the United States, Israel, was left with no choice but to unilaterally end the Iranian nuclear threat;

Whereas the only action ordered by President Trump was a precision strike on 3 nuclear sites in Iran;

Whereas those strikes resulted in no casualties;

Whereas those strikes further brought about ceasefire between Israel and Iran;

Whereas the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to the organization Nihon Hidankyo of Japan for its efforts to achieve a world free of nuclear weapons and for demonstrating through witness testimony that nuclear weapons must never be used again;

Whereas President Trump successfully ended the nuclear weapons program of Iran;

Whereas the end to the Iranian nuclear program achieved by President Trump came without military personnel on the ground; and

Whereas President Trump has shown the world that peace through strength is the antidote to forever wars: Now, therefore, be it

That the Senate—

(1) - calls on the Norwegian Nobel Committee to award President Donald John Trump the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize;

(2) - urges all peace-loving nations to join in that call; and

(3) - expresses its deepest appreciation to President Trump for bringing an end both to the nuclear program of Iran and hostilities related thereto in only 12 days.
