Bill Summary
Directing the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities in the Republic of Yemen that have not been authorized by Congress. This joint resolution directs the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities in or affecting Yemen within 30 days unless Congress authorizes a later withdrawal date, issues a declaration of war, or specifically authorizes the use of the Armed Forces. Prohibited activities include providing in-flight fueling for non-U.S. aircraft conducting missions as part of the conflict in Yemen. This joint resolution shall not affect any military operations directed at Al Qaeda. The President must submit to Congress, within 90 days, reports assessing the risks that would be posed (1) if the United States were to cease supporting operations with respect to the conflict in Yemen, and (2) if Saudi Arabia were to cease sharing Yemen-related intelligence with the United States.
AI Summary
This Joint Resolution directs the President to withdraw U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities in or affecting Yemen within 30 days, unless Congress authorizes a later withdrawal, declares war, or specifically authorizes the use of these forces, acknowledging that Congress holds the sole power to declare war and has not done so for the conflict in Yemen involving a Saudi-led coalition against the Houthis. The resolution specifically prohibits activities like providing in-flight refueling for non-U.S. aircraft involved in the conflict, but it does not affect military operations targeting Al Qaeda, and it requires the President to report to Congress within 90 days on the risks of ceasing U.S. support operations in Yemen and the risks if Saudi Arabia stops sharing Yemen-related intelligence with the U.S.
