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 is a formal condemnation of former FBI Director James Comey. It alleges that Mr. Comey incited violence against President Donald J. Trump through a social media post containing the phrase "86-47" and the caption "cool shell formation." The resolution argues that such actions jeopardize the President's security and undermine the country. To address this, the House of Representatives seeks to condemn his actions unequivocally. Additionally, it urges authorities to prevent Mr. Comey from ever serving as a federal employee again. Finally, it calls for a full Department of Justice investigation into the matter with public findings.
