Bill Summary
A joint resolution to direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran that have not been authorized by Congress. This joint resolution directs the President to terminate the use of U.S. Armed Forces for hostilities against Iran unless explicitly authorized by a congressional declaration of war or a specific authorization for use of military force against Iran.
AI Summary
This Joint Resolution directs the President to end the use of United States Armed Forces in hostilities against Iran, unless Congress has formally declared war or provided a specific authorization for military action against Iran. The resolution, known as S. J. Res. 682, acknowledges Congress's constitutional power to declare war and notes that such authorization has not been granted for actions against Iran. It references the War Powers Resolution, a law that governs the President's ability to commit U.S. forces to armed conflict, and asserts that U.S. forces have been engaged in hostilities against Iran without a declaration of war or specific congressional approval. The resolution also clarifies that this directive does not prevent the U.S. from defending itself against an imminent attack.
