YourVoice.Now Summary
Directs removal of U.S. forces from hostilities with Iran absent a declaration of war, keeping defensive and intelligence exceptions.
The details
This resolution directs the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran unless Congress specifically authorizes it through a declaration of war or military force authorization. It uses authority under the War Powers Resolution, a law that lets Congress order troop withdrawal from military conflicts it hasn't approved. The resolution carves out exceptions for defending U.S. forces, diplomatic facilities, or allies from an imminent attack, and allows troops to remain in the region for defensive purposes. It also makes clear that intelligence-sharing activities with coalition partners are not affected, and the measure does not itself authorize any use of force.
