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 formally impeaches Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors.

The charges cover a wide range of actions including war powers usurpation, militarization of domestic law enforcement, and unconstitutional detentions and deportations.

The measure also cites contempt of Congress, perverting law enforcement for political persecution, suspending laws, flouting the Fourteenth Amendment, issuing specious national emergencies, and violating emoluments clauses.
