Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States relating to the duration of authorizations of the use of force.

This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would place a time limit on certain congressional authorizations of military force. If ratified, any future Act of Congress authorizing the use of military force by the United States outside its borders, without a formal declaration of war, would automatically expire. This expiration would occur on the earlier of two dates: five years after the Act's enactment or a specific termination date provided within the authorization itself. This change directly affects how Congress can authorize and oversee military engagements, impacting the duration of U.S. military operations not backed by a formal war declaration.
