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 sets the rules for how the House of Representatives will consider a specific bill, H.R. 4393, which aims to secure the border and reform immigration laws. Once the resolution is adopted, the House will immediately move to consider the bill as already read. It waives all points of order against the bill and its consideration. The debate on the bill is limited to one hour, which is to be equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the Committee on the Judiciary. After debate, a final vote will be taken with only a single motion to recommit allowed. Finally, the Clerk is required to send a message to the Senate stating that the House passed the bill within three calendar days of its passage.
