Bill > SJRes180

This joint resolution directs the President to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Iran, unless Congress has explicitly authorized such military action through a declaration of war or a specific authorization for the use of military force. The resolution, referencing the War Powers Resolution of 1973 and other relevant laws, asserts Congress's constitutional power to declare war and highlights that no such declaration or specific authorization has been made regarding Iran. It acknowledges the President's duty to defend the nation but emphasizes that ongoing military operations, such as "Operation Epic Fury" initiated in February 2026, and potential further actions, have not received congressional approval. The resolution also includes provisions allowing for actions such as defending against attacks on the U.S., collecting intelligence, assisting partner countries attacked by Iran, and facilitating the evacuation of U.S. citizens.
