Bill > SJRes59

This joint resolution directs the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities against Iran without congressional authorization, emphasizing Congress's constitutional power to declare war and the need for explicit legislative approval before military engagement. The resolution makes several key findings, including that Congress has not declared war on Iran or authorized military force against the country, and that any U.S. military actions supporting hostilities against Iran constitute either active hostilities or a situation indicating imminent involvement in hostilities. The resolution calls for a full congressional briefing, public debate, and vote on potential military actions, and specifically directs the President to terminate the use of U.S. Armed Forces for hostilities against Iran or any part of its government or military, unless Congress explicitly authorizes such actions through a declaration of war or specific military force authorization. The resolution includes a critical caveat that nothing in the document prevents the United States from defending itself against an imminent attack, thus preserving the nation's right to immediate self-defense.
