Bill > HCRes89

This Concurrent Resolution, passed by both the House of Representatives and the Senate, directs the President to end the involvement of United States Armed Forces in hostilities against Iran, as allowed by Section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, a law that limits the President's ability to commit U.S. forces to combat without congressional approval. This directive applies to any involvement in combat roles or occupation, unless Congress has formally declared war or specifically authorized military action against Iran. However, the resolution includes important exceptions, clarifying that 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 if they are not engaged in hostilities against Iran or are present for defensive purposes. Additionally, it ensures that intelligence gathering, analysis, and sharing related to threats from Iran or surrounding countries will not be disrupted.
