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 elects a specific Member of the House of Representatives to a standing committee. Specifically, it names Mr. Guest as the Chair of the Committee on Ethics. The document comes directly from the U.S. Government Publishing Office and was passed in the House of Representatives on February 6, 2025. It deals entirely with congressional committee leadership assignments.
