Houses of legislature[edit]

When greater formality is desired, a motion may be made in the form of a resolution, which is always submitted in writing.

Houses of a legislature often adopt non-binding resolutions.

However, a legislature also uses resolutions to exercise one of its binding powers that isn't a lawmaking power. For example, the United States Congress declares war or proposes constitutional amendments by adopting a joint resolution. A house of a legislature can also use a resolution to exercise its specific powers, as the British House of Commons does to elect its Speaker or as the United States House of Representatives does to impeach an officer of the government.

 んー、難しいな。立法以外の決議ってところかな。例えば戦争の宣言 or ホワイトハウスオフィサーの弾劾とか。今日の決議はそれこそトランプが勝手に戦争状態へ持ち込むことを制限するものだけれど、仮に議会で可決されてもトランプにvetoされる可能性高し。
