A joint resolution to direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran that have not been authorized by Congress.

Key Points

• This resolution would require the President to stop using the U.S. military for any fighting against Iran or its government. The only way the military could continue fighting is if Congress officially declares war or passes a specific law giving permission for the conflict.
• The proposal is based on the U.S. Constitution, which gives Congress the power to declare war. It argues that before the country gets involved in a major conflict, there should be a public debate and a formal vote by the people's representatives in Washington.
• Even if this passes, the U.S. military would still be allowed to defend the country from an immediate attack. This rule ensures that the military can protect American citizens and service members if they are in danger without waiting for a vote from Congress.
• This action is being taken because there is currently no specific law that allows for military action against Iran. Supporters want to prevent the government from entering a war without a clear plan and legal approval from the legislative branch.
