NATO Shield Act

AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill sets rules for any step by the President to leave or suspend U.S. membership in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The President would have to consult with Congress within 72 hours of considering or planning such a step, and send Congress a report within 48 hours of starting it. Any withdrawal step would end after 30 days unless Congress passes a joint resolution approving it, and Congress could also direct the President to end it sooner by joint resolution. The bill bars federal funds from being used for a withdrawal that has ended under these rules, sets fast-track voting procedures in Congress, and allows Members of Congress to sue in federal court over violations.
