Introduced 2026-05-07Summary
AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would bar the federal government from spending money on any use of military force in or against Iran from the date it becomes law through December 31, 2026. The ban would not apply if Congress declares war on Iran or passes a law specifically authorizing such force after this bill is enacted. It also would not apply to force allowed under the War Powers Resolution or force needed to defend the United States or an ally or partner from an imminent attack. For those exceptions, the President would have to fully follow the War Powers Resolution's requirements in section 5(b).
