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
H. Res. 354 is a resolution that sets the rules for the House to consider several other joint resolutions.

The resolution outlines the debate time and procedures for voting on these specific measures. It also specifies that certain days between April 29, 2025, and September 30, 2025, will not count as legislative days for specific rule purposes.
