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, titled the "Protecting Deliberative Process in the House Resolution," proposes changes to the Rules of the House of Representatives. It specifically seeks to amend Rule XXIX regarding how votes are conducted. The bill aims to restrict recorded votes from occurring after 11:00 p.m. on any day the House is in session. Under this rule, any vote after that time would require a special determination. This determination would necessitate an affirmative vote of at least three-fourths of the Members voting, provided a quorum is present.
