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 resolution is called the Fair Representation Amendment. It directs specific House committees to review the laws under their jurisdiction. Within six months of the resolution's adoption, these committees must submit law changes to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. The goal of these changes is to eliminate excessive Executive Branch discretion in how those laws are applied. Finally, the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform must quickly report this legislation without making any substantive revisions, under the short title Article One Restoration Act.
