A joint resolution to direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities that have not been authorized by Congress.

This joint resolution would direct the President to stop using U.S. Armed Forces in hostilities against groups designated as foreign terrorist organizations or specially designated global terrorists on or after February 20, 2025, against countries where those groups operate, and against non-state drug trafficking organizations. The order would not apply if Congress declares war or passes a specific authorization for use of military force. The resolution states that U.S. military strikes on vessels on September 2 and September 15, 2025, count as hostilities under the War Powers Resolution. It would still allow the U.S. to defend itself from an armed attack or imminent threat of one, and to use the military to support civil authorities in authorized counternarcotics operations. It states that drug trafficking by itself is not an armed attack.
