Joint resolutions are legislative proposals that require approval from both houses of Congress and the President's signature, similar to bills. They can be used for various purposes, including proposing amendments to the Constitution or addressing specific issues. Once a joint resolution is introduced, it goes through the same legislative process as a bill, including committee review, debate, and voting in both the House and Senate. If both chambers pass the resolution, it is then sent to the President, who can sign it into law or veto it.
Joint resolutions.
There are different kinds of resolutions. Either house can pass resolutions that express its opinion on some matter- these are not laws and are not sent to the president. The Congress can also pass non-binding resolutions that are not sent to the president and do not become law. However, the Congress can pass joint resolutions which means the identical resolution is passed by both houses. These are sent to the president and become law if he signs them,
Joint Resolutions- similar to bills , and when passed have the force of law. Concurrent Resolutions- deal with matters in which the house & senate act jointly.
A resolution is a type of legislative measure that expresses the opinions, intentions, or decisions of a legislative body without having the force of law. Resolutions can address various issues, such as internal rules, formal expressions of sentiment, or administrative matters. They can be either joint resolutions, which require approval by both houses and can become law, or simple resolutions, which pertain to one house only and do not require the other house’s approval.
Proposed legislation that does not have the force of law typically includes resolutions and motions, such as concurrent resolutions or simple resolutions. These types of proposals often express the sentiments or opinions of a legislative body but do not require approval from both chambers or the president to take effect. For example, a concurrent resolution may be used to establish a joint committee or set forth a legislative agenda without creating binding law.

Resolutions are mainly ceremonial pronouncements. If the "resolutions' do not have the force of law, I don't believe so.

A joint resolution in Congress is a legislative proposal that requires approval from both the House of Representatives and the Senate, and it is typically used to address specific issues, such as constitutional amendments or declarations of war. Unlike bills, joint resolutions can also be used to propose changes to existing laws or to express the sentiment of Congress. Once passed by both chambers and signed by the President, a joint resolution has the force of law. However, certain types of joint resolutions, like those proposing amendments to the Constitution, do not require presidential approval.
All bills and all joint resolutions which are not constitutional amendments must be signed by the President. This is part of the checks and balances of a democratic government. The President has the right to veto all proposed law sent to him for signing. If he or she vetoes, such cannot become law before it has not been self-enacted by at least 2/3 of both houses. Concurrent resolutions may be passed by Congress without presidential approval but these have, in most cases, not the effect of a law. Congress can only make legal decissions over its own property, e.g. the Capital Rotunda, without the President's signature.
Joint Resolutions are used to propose constitutional amendments.
