Bill > HCRes94

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 permitted by Section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, a law that aims to limit the President's ability to commit U.S. forces to armed conflict without congressional approval. This directive applies to any combat role or occupation by U.S. ground forces and will only be overridden by a formal declaration of war or specific congressional authorization for military action against Iran. However, the resolution includes important exceptions, clarifying that it does not prevent the U.S. from defending itself, its allies, or its diplomatic facilities from immediate attack, nor does it require the withdrawal of troops in the region who are not actively engaged in hostilities against Iran, and it also ensures that intelligence gathering and sharing related to threats from Iran will not be disrupted.
