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 House of Representatives' profound sorrow regarding the death of the Honorable Gerald E. Connolly, a Representative from the Commonwealth of Virginia. It directs the Clerk to communicate these resolutions to the Senate and provide a copy to the deceased's family. Additionally, the House intends to adjourn today as a further mark of respect for his memory.
