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 proposes an amendment to the Rules of the House of Representatives. It specifically targets Clause 5 of rule XVII. The change would allow individuals to wear denim clothing on the floor of the House. This permission is limited to a specific time. It would only apply on the last Wednesday of April of each year.
