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 sets the schedule for when the House of Representatives meets each day of the week. Unless ordered otherwise, the House will meet at 2 p.m. on Mondays. On Tuesdays, the House will meet at noon, or 2 p.m. if no legislative business happened on the previous Monday. The daily meeting time is set for noon on Wednesdays and Thursdays. For all other days of the week, the House will meet at 9 a.m. This schedule dictates the regular working hours for the officials we voted into office.
