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 asks the President to hand over specific information to the House of Representatives. The requested materials deal with United States Government agencies sharing certain communications with the public and federal employees. Specifically, it targets documents related to a directive from the Office of Management and Budget about a lapse in appropriations. It also asks for records concerning a specific message posted on the Department of Housing and Urban Development website. Additionally, it requests documents regarding the Department of Education modifying the out-of-office emails of furloughed employees. Finally, it asks for communications between various offices on whether these government messages violated specific federal laws.
