Bill > HCRes87

This concurrent resolution, passed by both the House of Representatives and the Senate, directs the President to end the involvement of U.S. Armed Forces in hostilities against Iran, as permitted by section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, a law that governs the President's ability to commit U.S. forces to armed conflict. This means U.S. troops should be removed from any active combat role against Iran, its government, or its military, unless Congress has formally declared war or specifically authorized such military action. However, the resolution includes important exceptions: it does not prevent the U.S. from defending itself, its forces, diplomatic sites, or allies from immediate attacks, nor does it require the withdrawal of troops in the region who are not engaged in hostilities against Iran, or those present for defensive purposes. Furthermore, it clarifies that this resolution does not affect intelligence gathering, analysis, or sharing related to threats from Iran or surrounding countries, and it explicitly states that it does not authorize the use of military force.
