A joint resolution to direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against the Islamic Republic of Iran that have not been authorized by Congress.
This joint resolution directs the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities in Iran that occurred without a formal declaration of war or specific statutory authorization. The bill is based on Congress's constitutional authority to declare war and cites statements from current administration officials who have referred to the conflict as a war. While ordering troop withdrawal, the resolution allows the U.S. to continue defending against attacks, sharing intelligence, assisting allies, and evacuating American citizens. The measure applies expedited legislative procedures and does not prevent future military action if Congress provides explicit authorization.
