A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.
What this bill would do
This House Resolution officially chooses the officers for the House of Representatives for the 119th Congress. It names Kevin McCumber of Illinois as the Clerk of the House. It designates William McFarland of Maryland as the Sergeant-at-Arms. Finally, it appoints Catherine Szpindor of Virginia as the Chief Administrative Officer.
