A joint resolution to direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities against vessels operating in the Caribbean Sea or the Eastern Pacific Ocean that have not been authorized by Congress.

This joint resolution would direct the President to stop using U.S. Armed Forces in hostilities against vessels in the Caribbean Sea or the Eastern Pacific Ocean, unless Congress authorizes it through a declaration of war or a specific authorization for use of military force. It states that Congress has not authorized the strikes on vessels that began on September 2, 2025, and that more than 60 days have passed since the President notified Congress, the time limit set by the War Powers Resolution. The resolution states that it does not prevent the United States from defending itself against an armed attack or the threat of an imminent armed attack.
