The resolution confirms the appointment of James Tressel as the Lieutenant Governor of Ohio, following the vacancy created by the resignation of former Lieutenant Governor Jon Husted. According to Section 17a of Article III of the Ohio Constitution, the Governor is responsible for nominating a candidate to fill such a vacancy, which must then be confirmed by a majority vote from both the Senate and the House of Representatives.

The resolution outlines the process for this confirmation, stating that both chambers of the General Assembly must adopt the resolution by a majority vote to officially confirm Tressel's appointment. Additionally, it mandates that the Clerks of both the Senate and the House record the resolution and the voting results in their respective journals.
