  1. joint resolution

    A joint resolution is a legislative measure that requires approval by the Senate and the House and is presented to the President for his or her approval or disapproval. It is generally used for special circumstances or temporary measures, such as a declaration of war or amendment to the Constitution. Unlike bills, when passed, they become law. Joint resolutions can also propose amendments to the Constitution where, if passed, they are sent directly to the states for ratification and do not require presidential approval.

  1. Joint resolution

    In the United States Congress, a joint resolution is a legislative measure that requires approval by the Senate and the House and is presented to the President for his/her approval or disapproval, in exactly the same case as a bill. Generally, there is no legal difference between a joint resolution and a bill. Both must be passed, in exactly the same form, by both chambers of Congress, and then must — with one exception — be presented to the President and signed by him/her to become a law. Laws enacted by virtue of a joint resolution are not distinguished from laws enacted by a bill. Constitutional amendments are passed by joint resolutions, which are not presented to the President. Instead, they are sent to the states for ratification under Article Five of the U.S. Constitution. While either a bill or joint resolution can be used to create a law, they are used differently in current usage. Bills are generally used to add, repeal, or amend laws codified in the United States Code, and twelve annual appropriations laws. Joint resolutions are generally used for, among other things, the following:
