Directing the President pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution to remove United States Armed Forces from unauthorized hostilities in the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Key Points

• This resolution tells the President to stop using the U.S. military for any fighting against Iran or its government. It says the military can only be used there if Congress officially declares war or gives a specific legal permission.
• The lawmakers who wrote this say that only Congress has the power to start a war under the Constitution. They argue that because Congress hasn't officially approved fighting in Iran, the current military actions must stop.
• The proposal includes a few exceptions. The U.S. military would still be allowed to defend itself if it is about to be attacked. It also would not stop the government from collecting or sharing secret intelligence about threats from Iran.
• If passed, this would force the government to pull troops out of active combat situations involving Iran. The goal is to make sure the U.S. does not enter a major war without a full public debate and a vote by elected officials.
