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 recommends that the House of Representatives find Neville Singham in contempt of Congress. The contempt is based on his refusal to comply with a subpoena issued by the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. If the resolution is approved, Singham will be fined $25,000 for each day he fails to comply, pursuant to the inherent power of the House. Finally, the Speaker of the House is directed to take all appropriate action to enforce the subpoena and the resolution.
