The correct answer is "joint resolution."

A joint resolution has the force of law when it is passed by both houses of Congress and signed by the President. In contrast, a concurrent resolution does not have the force of law and is typically used for matters such as setting the budget or expressing the sentiments of both houses. Simple resolutions pertain to one house and also do not have the force of law. There is no official type known as a "legal resolution."
