Bill Summary

A joint resolution to direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against the Islamic Republic of Iran that have not been authorized by Congress.

AI Summary

This joint resolution, passed by both the Senate and House of Representatives, directs the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from any ongoing hostilities within or against Iran, unless Congress has explicitly authorized such military action through a declaration of war or a specific law. The resolution emphasizes Congress's constitutional power to declare war and references the War Powers Resolution, a law designed to limit the President's ability to commit U.S. forces to conflict without congressional approval. It also clarifies that this directive does not prevent the U.S. from defending itself or its allies against attacks, collecting intelligence, or providing defensive support to other nations facing threats from Iran.
