Bill > HCRes105

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. This directive applies to any part of Iran's government or military, including ground forces in a combat or occupation role, and will remain in effect unless Congress formally declares war or specifically authorizes military action against Iran. However, the resolution includes exceptions, allowing the U.S. to defend itself, its forces, diplomatic sites, or allies from imminent attack, maintain a military presence in the region for defensive purposes, and does not require the withdrawal of forces not engaged in hostilities against Iran. Furthermore, it clarifies that this resolution does not impact intelligence gathering, analysis, or sharing related to threats from Iran, nor does it authorize any new use of military force.
