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 is a straightforward Senate resolution from the 119th Congress, designated as S. Res. 4. Submitted by Mr. Thune on January 3, 2025, the resolution was considered and agreed to by the Senate. Its sole purpose is to handle official government communication. Specifically, it directs that the President of the United States be formally notified about a leadership election. The notification states that the Honorable Charles E. Grassley was elected as the President pro tempore of the Senate.
