Bill Summary
Directing the President pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution to remove United States Armed Forces from unauthorized hostilities in the Islamic Republic of Iran.
AI Summary
This joint resolution directs the President to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities against Iran, emphasizing Congress's constitutional power to declare war and noting that no such declaration or specific authorization currently exists for military action against Iran. The resolution invokes Section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, which requires the President to withdraw U.S. forces from unauthorized hostilities when directed by Congress. While mandating the termination of military hostilities against Iran and its government or military, the resolution includes a critical caveat that it does not prevent the United States from defending itself against an imminent attack. Additionally, the resolution includes provisions that preserve the ability of the U.S. government to continue intelligence, counterintelligence, and investigative activities related to Iran, including intelligence collection, analysis, and sharing with coalition partners, if the President determines such activities are in the national security interests of the United States. The resolution explicitly states that it should not be construed as authorizing the use of military force, maintaining a clear distinction between directing the withdrawal of forces and granting military authorization.
