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 is an inquiry requesting that the President transmit specific information to the House of Representatives.

Additionally, it seeks communications regarding legal determinations at the Office of Management and Budget concerning the Government Employee Fair Treatment Act of 2019. Finally, it requests documents related to plans to withhold pay for excepted or furloughed federal and District of Columbia employees.
