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

S. Res. 374 is a resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert Fitzgerald Kennedy Jr. should be removed from his position. The resolution alleges that the Secretary has engaged in a pattern of conduct incompatible with his duties, including the removal of scientific experts and the termination of critical public health funding. It further claims he has undermined vaccine trust and violated various federal statutes and constitutional oaths. The document highlights mass firings of federal employees and the elimination of offices dedicated to minority health. Ultimately, the Senate asserts that the Secretary no longer holds the confidence of the Senate or the American people.
