Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This concurrent resolution, using section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, would direct the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities against Iran. It makes an exception for forces needed to defend the United States or a U.S. ally or partner from imminent attack, as long as the President fully follows the requirements of section 5(b) of the War Powers Resolution. The direction would not apply if Congress explicitly authorizes force against Iran through a declaration of war or a specific authorization for use of military force.
