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 seeks to extend the enforcement of specific budgetary points of order in the Senate. It specifically addresses subsections (c)(2) and (d)(3) of section 904 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974. If passed, these enforcement mechanisms would remain in effect through September 30, 2027. The resolution was submitted by Mr. Graham and Mr. Merkley.
