VETERAN
LEGISLATION1 April 2016
In each chamber of Congress, four forms of legislative measures may be introduced or
submitted, and acted upon. These include bills, joint resolutions, concurrent resolutions,
and simple resolutions. Resolutions are not laws but rather the statements of intent or
declarations that affect the operations of Congress
• Joint resolutions are legislative measure that requires approval by the enate and
the !ouse and is presented to the "resident for his approval or disapproval, in
e#actly the same case as a bill.
• Concurrent resolutions are legislative measures adopted by both houses of a
bicameral legislature that lac$s the force of law %is non&binding' and does not
require the approval of the chief e#ecutive %president'. Concurrent resolutions are
typically 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 or
recognitions
•
imple resolutions are used to delegate official internal Congressional business.
In total (,)*+ bills containing ,-( amendments and */ resolutions have been
introduced in the 0nited tates Congress of which ,-- bills are under Committee
consideration and *,1*2 are under 3loor consideration. 4f those, on average only about
