More about this bill
Most people would notice no change in daily life. Families with someone in uniform near Lebanon are the exception. The resolution orders the President to pull U.S. forces out of any fighting in Lebanon. The deadline is 7 days after both chambers adopt it. Congress is using the War Powers Resolution, a 1973 law. That law lets Congress order troops out of a fight it never voted to approve. Two things would not change. U.S. forces could still work with Lebanon's army. They could still guard American diplomatic buildings. The text also says it does not approve any use of force. A concurrent resolution needs both the House and the Senate. It does not go to the President to sign.
Congressional Summary
This concurrent resolution directs the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities in Lebanon within seven days of the resolution's adoption. The resolution specifies that it shall not be construed to prevent or limit security cooperation with the Lebanese Armed Forces or the protection of diplomatic facilities.
