AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would bar federal money from being spent on any use of military force in or against Mexico from the date it becomes law through December 31, 2026. The ban would not apply if Congress declares war on Mexico or passes a new law that specifically authorizes the use of force and meets the requirements of the War Powers Resolution. The ban also would not apply to uses of force allowed under section 2(c) of the War Powers Resolution, which covers situations such as a national emergency created by an attack on the United States or its armed forces.
