A non-binding resolution is a written Motion adopted by a Deliberative Body that cannot progress into a Law . The substance of the resolution can be anything that can normally be proposed as a motion. This type of resolution is often used to express the body's approval or disapproval of something which they cannot otherwise vote on,1 due to the matter being handled by another Jurisdiction , or being protected by a Constitution . An example would be a resolution of support for a nation's Troops in Battle , which carries no Legal weight, but is adopted for Moral Support . USE Non-binding resolutions are usually specific Simple or Concurrent resolutions that are not passed on to the president to be signed in to law.2 These resolutions differ from pure Concurrent Resolution s (that are used for various procedural requests such as adjourning sessions) in that they are designed to formally express and document opinions, not initiate a process. These resolutions offer a means for elected officials to publicly air the concerns of their constituents3 and are closely followed by major media outlets. Additionally, these resolutions can be used to state the position of congress, showing a preview of how they will vote on future legislation and budget allocations.
