Just wondering out loud, does it make a difference that this is a resolution, and not a bill? I don’t think this is binding on the Senate since it is a resolution of the House. I don’t believe that resolutions have the force of law, they are merely the pulse of the body. I am certainly willing to be corrected.

But, I agree that the House shouldn’t be consuming time with such trivial matters when we are staring down the barrel of a multi-trillion dollar gun.

Best regards,

Gwjack

That would matter if it were true. H.R.1255 is a bill, not a resolutions. Bills that originate in the House of Representatives. House Resolutions get numbers H.Res.xxxx. Joint resolutions get numbers either H.J.Res. or S.J.Res. depending on where they originate.
