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.

The resolution waives all points of order against the consideration of the joint resolution. It also sets rules for debate, allowing one hour of debate equally divided between the chair and ranking minority member. Additionally, it allows for one motion to recommit.
