Bill > HR1936

This bill, known as the "No Invading Allies Act," aims to prevent the United States Armed Forces from invading or seizing territory from Canada, Panama, or Greenland without specific congressional authorization. The bill establishes that funds cannot be used for such operations unless there is a formal declaration of war by Congress, specific statutory authorization, or a national emergency created by an attack or imminent threat to the United States, its territories, possessions, or Armed Forces. If a national emergency is declared, the President can only use military forces for up to 60 days without further congressional approval. The bill reaffirms the United States' commitment to a rules-based international order, democratic values, and existing alliances, while standing against territorial aggression. It also includes a rule of construction that clarifies the bill does not alter the constitutional powers of Congress or the President, nor does it impact activities already approved under existing national security protocols. The bill broadly defines the "introduction of United States Armed Forces" to include not just direct combat, but also assignments involving command, coordination, or movement of foreign military forces in potential hostilities.
