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

H. Res. 678 expresses support for designating September as ``Founding Fathers' Month''. The resolution highlights the role of leaders like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson in securing independence and shaping American democracy. It notes that September is significant because the Constitution was signed on September 17, 1787. The resolution encourages Americans and educational institutions to honor the Founding Fathers to address a decline in civic knowledge and patriotism. It also calls on the Department of Education to support programs that deepen the understanding of founding principles.
