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. 801 is a resolution to honor the life and legacy of Senator Lindsey Olin Graham from South Carolina following his death. The resolution recognizes his military service in the Air Force, his time in the South Carolina House of Representatives, and his service in both the U.S. House and Senate. It notes his roles as Chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary and the Committee on the Budget. The Senate expresses sorrow over his passing and requests that the resolution be shared with the House of Representatives and his family.
