This resolution directs the President to remove all U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities in Lebanon within 7 days of its adoption, using the formal authority of section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution — a 1973 law that allows Congress to order an end to unauthorized military engagements. The directive would not affect U.S. security cooperation with the Lebanese Armed Forces or the protection of American diplomatic facilities in the country. Both the House and Senate must pass this concurrent resolution for it to take effect. The resolution also clarifies that its passage would not itself constitute an authorization to use military force.
