SJRES 191 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A joint resolution to direct 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. military forces from hostilities in Iran that lack explicit congressional authorization. The bill relies on the War Powers Resolution, asserting that the 60-day period for these unauthorized operations has expired and that no war declaration or specific statutory approval exists for the conflict. While ordering a troop withdrawal, the measure allows the United States to continue defending against attacks on its personnel, sharing intelligence, assisting allied nations, and evacuating American citizens. It is a legislative action intended to enforce constitutional limits on the use of military force without a formal declaration of war.
