The House may vote on a resolution honoring the military and intelligence community on the mission that killed Osama bin Laden, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said Thursday.

The Senate already passed a resolution earlier this week honoring the troops and the intelligence community as well as President Obama and former president George W. Bush on the successful strike on bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.

But the House has not yet taken up a resolution – in part due to new rules enacted by House Republicans at the beginning of the 112th Congress prohibiting the consideration of most commemorative resolutions.

Boehner told reporters at his weekly news conference Thursday that members have issued press releases commemorating the mission and that while discussion has been underway on the possibility of a resolution on the bin Laden mission, no final decision has been made.
