In the United States a concurrent resolution is a legislative measure, designated "S. Con. Res." (in the Senate) and "H.Con.Res." (in the House), which is generally employed to address the sentiments of both chambers, to deal with issues or matters affecting both houses, such as a concurrent budget resolution, or to create a temporary joint committee. Concurrent resolutions are not submitted to the President and thus do not have the force of law.

The resolution is drafted concurrently by the House and the Senate budget committees.
Once both houses pass the resolution, a conference report is drafted by members of the Senate and the House.
In contrast to most legislation passed by Congress, the budget resolution is a concurrentresolution and thus does not become law and does not require the signature of the President.
