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 directs the House of Representatives to proceed to the consideration of H.R. 2913. The bill H.R. 2913 is intended to authorize support for Ukraine and other purposes. The resolution waives all points of order against the consideration of the bill and its provisions. It establishes specific rules for debate, limiting it to one hour. It also sets the stage for the previous question to be considered without intervening motion, except for specific exceptions. Finally, it instructs the Clerk to transmit a message to the Senate following passage.

A resolution is one chamber speaking for itself — setting its own rules, taking a position, honouring someone — and it never goes to the President. Agreeing to it is the whole decision.
