Constitutional Alignment
This resolution does not directly implicate specific clauses of the US Constitution. It falls under the purview of the House of Representatives to express its opinion on matters of international relations and diplomacy, as granted by Article I, Section 8, which provides Congress the power to declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water, implying a broader authority over foreign affairs. The resolution's call for recognizing and awarding a Nobel Peace Prize is a symbolic gesture and does not create any binding legal obligations.
