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 declares that the January 6th Select Committee was illegitimate and partisan because of how members were appointed. It officially rescinds the subpoenas that were issued on September 23, 2021, October 6, 2021, and February 9, 2022. It withdraws the contempt of Congress recommendations made against Stephen K. Bannon, Mark Randall Meadows, Daniel Scavino, Jr., and Peter K. Navarro. The text states that the previous committee failed to include the required number of members and operated without a ranking minority member. It claims that the committee promoted uncorroborated evidence and withheld or destroyed information. Finally, the resolution directs the Speaker of the House to notify the Department of Justice that the subpoenas are now null and void.
