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 deals with a court case happening in New York called United States v. Terry. In this case, the prosecution asked for testimony and documents from Camilla Vogt, who works for Senator John Hickenlooper. The Senate agreed to let her provide this testimony and documents, as long as it does not involve matters where a privilege or objection should be asserted. It also authorizes the Senate Legal Counsel to represent Ms. Vogt regarding this testimony. This is a routine administrative measure handled directly by the Senate.
