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. 735 is a resolution that supports naming July as "American Families Month." The resolution highlights the nuclear family and stably married parents as the best environment for child outcomes and the success of the United States. It acknowledges that falling marriage rates are a threat to social and economic well-being. Finally, it calls for policies that support nuclear families and remove barriers to starting families.
