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 Tony Gonzales from the United States House of Representatives. The resolution alleges that Representative Gonzales violated the House Code of Official Conduct by engaging in a sexual relationship with a staffer under his supervision and sending unwelcome sexual advances. It cites specific evidence, including text messages, and notes that a former staffer died after these events occurred. The document claims these actions constitute a pattern of sexual abuse and harassment. Ultimately, the resolution seeks to hold the Member accountable to safeguard public faith in the House.
