Bill > HCRes117

This Concurrent Resolution directs the President to withdraw United States Armed Forces from any ongoing hostilities against Iran, utilizing a specific mechanism under the War Powers Resolution of 1973—a federal law designed to check the President's power to engage U.S. forces in armed conflict without congressional approval—which allows Congress to mandate the removal of troops by passing a concurrent resolution that does not require the President's signature. The measure includes an exception allowing the military to defend the U.S. or its allies from imminent attacks, provided the President follows strict reporting requirements outlined in the War Powers Resolution, but otherwise prohibits military action against Iran unless Congress formally declares war or passes a specific authorization for the use of military force.
