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 authorizes the Senate Legal Counsel to represent Senator Marsha Blackburn and Senator Ben Ray Lujan. This authorization is in response to subpoenas issued by defendants in the case of Federal Trade Comission v. Key Investment Group, LLC, et al. These subpoenas request the production of documents from the two senators. The matter is currently pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. The Senate is exercising its ability to direct counsel to represent members regarding official responsibilities.
