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 expresses the sense of the House of Representatives regarding President Trump's intent to accept a Boeing 747-8 aircraft from the royal family of Qatar. The bill states that this gift, described as a "flying palace," must comply with the Foreign Emoluments Clause of the Constitution. It calls for the President to immediately submit all plans for the aircraft to Congress. Additionally, the resolution asserts that the President must obtain Congressional consent before accepting the gift. This action is sought to prevent potential corruption and national security risks.
