Bill > HCRes75

This concurrent resolution, passed by the House of Representatives and the Senate, directs the President to withdraw U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities against Iran within 30 days of February 28, 2026, unless Congress explicitly authorizes further military action through a declaration of war or specific authorization for the use of military force. The resolution cites Congress's constitutional power to declare war and notes that no such declaration or authorization has been made regarding Iran, which is described as a leading state sponsor of terrorism and an adversary posing threats through its missile program, support for proxies, and pursuit of nuclear weapons, and has engaged in destabilizing activities resulting in American deaths since 1979. The War Powers Resolution, a U.S. federal law, is referenced as the legal basis for this directive, specifically section 5(c), which allows Congress to terminate the introduction of U.S. Armed Forces into hostilities. Importantly, the resolution includes provisions that do not prevent the U.S. from defending itself, its forces, diplomatic facilities, or allies from imminent attack, nor do they require the removal of troops in the region not engaged in hostilities against Iran, and it explicitly states that it does not authorize the use of military force. Furthermore, it clarifies that intelligence gathering, analysis, and sharing related to threats from Iran will not be affected.
