A concurrent resolution is how the House and the Senate settle something they do together, such as a budget plan or a joint session. It is adopted once both chambers agree to it, and that puts it into effect; it is not a law, so it does not go to the President.
What this bill would do
This concurrent resolution denounces socialism in all its forms and opposes the implementation of socialist policies in the United States. The text states that socialist ideology requires a concentration of power that repeatedly collapses into communist regimes, totalitarian rule, and brutal dictatorships. It highlights that socialism has led to famine, mass murders, and the killing of over 100,000,000 people worldwide. The resolution points to historical crimes committed by socialist ideologues such as Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, Fidel Castro, and others. Furthermore, it cites quotes from President Thomas Jefferson and President James Madison regarding property, industry, and a just government. Finally, the resolution concludes that Congress denounces socialism and opposes its policies.

A resolution is one chamber speaking for itself — setting its own rules, taking a position, honouring someone — and it never goes to the President. Agreeing to it is the whole decision.
