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
