This concurrent resolution invokes the War Powers Resolution to direct the President to pull U.S. Armed Forces out of hostilities against Iran within 30 days of February 28, 2026, unless Congress passes a declaration of war or specific authorization. It states that Congress alone has the constitutional power to declare war and that no such authorization currently exists for the Iran engagement. The resolution carves out exceptions for self-defense, defending diplomatic facilities, defending allies from imminent attack, and maintaining a regional troop presence for defensive purposes. It also preserves intelligence collection, analysis, and sharing related to threats from Iran.
