To direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against the Republic of Cuba that have not been authorized by Congress.

This joint resolution directs the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Cuba unless Congress provides a specific declaration of war or authorization for military force. The bill relies on the War Powers Resolution and existing expedited procedures to require immediate congressional approval for any ongoing military actions in Cuba. It explicitly allows the United States to continue defending itself from armed attacks, countering imminent threats, and conducting lawful counternarcotics operations. The measure is based on the constitutional principle that Congress holds the sole power to declare war.
