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 addresses the obligation of the President of the United States to comply with court orders. It highlights several recent court orders and injunctions issued against the administration regarding executive orders, federal funds, Treasury Department records, and employee terminations. The text recalls historical legal standards establishing the judiciary's role and the limits of presidential power. It states that failing to comply with court orders puts the rule of law and the separation of powers in jeopardy. Finally, the resolution calls on President Donald J. Trump and his administration to immediately comply with all existing and future court orders.
