VETERANLEGISLATION15 August 2015In each chamber of Congress,
four forms of legislative measures may be introduced orsubmitted,
and acted upon. These include bills, joint resolutions, concurrent
resolutions,and simple resolutions. Resolutions are not laws but
rather the statements of intent ordeclarations that affect the
operations of Congress Joint resolutions are legislative measure
that requires approval by the enate andthe !ouse and is presented
to the "resident for his approval or disapproval,ine#actly the same
case as a bill. Concurrent resolutions arelegislativemeasures
adoptedbybothhouses of abicamerallegislaturethat
lac$stheforceoflaw%isnon&binding'anddoesnotrequire the approval
of the chief e#ecutive %president'. Concurrent resolutions
aretypically adopted to regulate the internal affairs of the
legislature that adopted it,or for other purposes where authority
of law is not necessary&such as awards orrecognitions imple
resolutions are used to delegate official internal Congressional
business.
