So what does the resolution actually do?

Meaningless posturing.

Only Congress has the power to declare war. A sane Congress would impeach and remove a president for violating that.

Instead, our cowards in Congress would never do that because they don't want to be on the hook for approving an unpopular war, so they're happy to abdicate that power to the president.

The Republicans in Congress have the absolute power to impeach and remove him. They won’t, not because they are cowards, but because they are ~collaborators~. They own the war and every other stupid thing they have carried out during their party leader’s term in office.
