"Why they did not vote to MAKE it binding?"

I think because the only thing binding is legislation that has to be approved by the rat senate and signed by Obama.

Resolutions are non-binding by their very nature. They represent the opinion of the house. But they have no power.

True, however what was getting at was that they often specify resolutions as ‘non binding’ just to hear themselves talk and look like something got done when in fact nothing but a show was ever intended. A ‘Sense of the congress’ vote IOW. That’s what I thought this was when the article specified it as ‘non binding’... that it was intentionally that way from the outset.
