AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill changes the War Powers Resolution, the federal law that sets fast-track (priority) procedures Congress uses to consider bills authorizing military force. Under the bill, those priority procedures would not apply to a joint resolution or bill that authorizes the use of U.S. Armed Forces for more than 5 years or for an unspecified period of time. The change would apply only to authorizations for use of military force introduced after the bill becomes law.
