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 expresses support for the Department of State's efforts regarding the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Ultimately, the measure aims to protect the national security interests of the United States.
