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 calls for the expulsion of Representative Eric Swalwell from the United States House of Representatives. The action follows investigative reporting regarding a sexual relationship between the Representative and a former congressional staffer. Allegations include that Representative Swalwell engaged in sexual activity with the staffer while she was too intoxicated to consent. This specific allegation is currently under investigation by the Manhattan District Attorney's Office. The resolution argues that such conduct violates the Rules of the House and brings discredit upon the institution.
