Bill > HCRes99

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 limits the President's ability to commit U.S. forces to combat without congressional approval, unless the President explicitly authorizes such action or Congress declares war. However, this directive 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 combat with Iran, or those present for defensive purposes. Furthermore, the resolution clarifies that it does not interfere with intelligence gathering, analysis, or sharing related to threats from Iran, and it explicitly states that it does not authorize the use of military force.
