Directing the President, pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran.

Key Points

• This resolution directs the president to pull U.S. military forces out of hostilities with Iran, using the War Powers Resolution to reassert Congress's role in decisions about going to war.
• The resolution makes an exception for troops needed to defend the U.S. or its allies from an imminent attack, as long as the president follows proper reporting requirements under the War Powers Resolution.
• Military action against Iran could continue only if Congress formally declares war or passes a specific authorization for the use of military force, putting the decision squarely in the hands of lawmakers.
• The resolution was introduced by Rep. Amo with more than 30 Democratic co-sponsors and has been referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, where it faces an uncertain path forward in the Republican-controlled House.
