Bill > HCRes102

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, 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 directive applies to any direct engagement with Iran's government or military, including ground troops in combat or for occupation, unless Congress has formally declared war or specifically authorized such military action. 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 actively engaged in hostilities against Iran or are present for defensive purposes. Furthermore, it explicitly states that this resolution does not authorize any new use of military force and does not interfere with intelligence gathering, analysis, or sharing related to threats from Iran.
