ELI5: What is the point of the US Congress drafting resolutions that just condemn something?
gpt
Basically, its the "sending prayers and good vibes" of the politics world. They do it when they see something bad going on in the world but dont want to send people/money to help, but they dont want to be accused of doing nothing. 

Of course sometimes its all the government can do as trying to pass a resolution to send aid can be hard/impossible to pass. 

Is there an example that you were looking at?
