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 seeks to censure and condemn Delegate Stacey Plaskett for her actions regarding convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. It alleges that she inappropriately coordinated and received instructions from Epstein via text message during a congressional hearing. The resolution further aims to remove her from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Additionally, it directs the Committee on Ethics to conduct a full investigation into her ties to Epstein and any other potential improprieties.

    A resolution is one chamber speaking for itself — setting its own rules, taking a position, honouring someone — and it never goes to the President. Agreeing to it is the whole decision.
