A quick definition of Resolution of Congress:

A Resolution of Congress is a statement made by either the House of Representatives or the Senate to handle their own business or express their opinions on non-lawmaking matters. It's called a Simple Resolution and is different from Joint or Concurrent Resolutions. They are identified by "H.Res." or "S.Res." and a number. Resolutions of Congress don't have the power of law and aren't signed by the president. They can be used to offer condolences or give advice on foreign policy.

A more thorough explanation:

A Resolution of Congress is a statement issued by either the House of Representatives or the Senate to regulate their own administrative or internal business, or to express opinions on non-legislative matters. It is also known as a Simple Resolution, which is different from a Joint Resolution or a Concurrent Resolution. Resolutions are identified by the abbreviations "H.Res." for House Resolutions and "S.Res." for Senate Resolutions, followed by a number.

Resolutions of Congress do not have the force of law and are not signed by the president. They are used to express the sentiments of a single house, such as offering condolences to the family of a deceased member of Congress, or to give advice on foreign policy or other executive business.

  • A House Resolution expressing support for the goals and ideals of National Adoption Month.
  • A Senate Resolution congratulating a sports team on their championship win.
  • A House Resolution honoring the life and legacy of a former member of Congress.

These examples illustrate how Resolutions of Congress can be used to express opinions or sentiments on non-legislative matters. They do not have the force of law, but they can be used to recognize and honor individuals or groups, or to express support for certain causes or events.
