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 bill is a resolution from the House of Representatives that condemns socialism and the Democratic Socialists of America. It points out concerns over noncitizens voting in elections and discusses various actions taken by the government regarding voter rolls. The text states that socialism is incompatible with American values and the Constitution. It reaffirms support for secure elections where only American citizens vote. Finally, the resolution calls for the enactment of the SAVE America Act to increase public confidence in voting systems and prevent noncitizens from voting.

A resolution is one chamber speaking for itself — setting its own rules, taking a position, honouring someone — and it never goes to the President. Agreeing to it is the whole decision.
