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 deals with setting up a small committee in the House of Representatives. Two members will be chosen by the Speaker. Their job is to join a Senate committee. Together, they will go notify the President of the United States. This notification lets the President know that a quorum of each House has assembled. It also tells the President that Congress is ready to receive any communication they wish to make.
