House Resolution

A House Resolution is a formal way for the U.S. House of Representatives to express its opinions, create procedures, or address specific issues without becoming law. It’s used for matters like setting rules, establishing commitees, or recognizing events or individuals. Since resolutions do not have the force of law, they are mainly statements or decisions internal to the House or to communicate its stance. Passing a resolution requires approval by a majority of House members, serving as an official record of its position or intent on a particular matter.
