A Senate resolution is the Senate speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the Senate agrees to it, it is officially the Senate's word; it is not a law, so the House and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution establishes a committee to inform the President of the United States that a quorum of each House is assembled. It mandates that a committee consisting of two Senators be appointed to join a committee appointed by the House of Representatives. This group will wait upon the President to provide notification. The purpose is to inform the President that Congress is ready to receive any communication he chooses to make.
