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 reaffirms the commitment of the House of Representatives to defend the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments of the Constitution. It condemns the deployment of armed Federal agents or immigration enforcement personnel to polling places. The text opposes the collection of confidential voter registration information into a national database by any Federal agency. It also registers opposition to the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act and any requirement for documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote. Additionally, the measure supports restoring Federal preclearance protections and section 2 protections of the Voting Rights Act. Finally, it calls on the Speaker of the House to promptly administer the oath of office to any duly elected Representative or Delegate.
