Bill > HCRes91

This Concurrent Resolution directs the President to end the involvement of United States Armed Forces in hostilities against Iran, citing 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 means Congress is formally telling the President to withdraw troops from fighting Iran, its government, or its military, including ground forces involved in combat or occupation, unless Congress has 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 removal of troops in the region who are not actively engaged in hostilities against Iran, or prevent the maintenance of a troop presence for defensive reasons. Additionally, it clarifies that this resolution does not affect intelligence gathering, analysis, or sharing related to threats from Iran, as long as the President deems it appropriate and in the national security interest. Finally, it explicitly states that this resolution does not authorize any new use of military force.
