A joint resolution to direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against the Republic of Cuba that have not been authorized by Congress.
Summary
S.J.Res. 124 is a binding joint resolution introduced by Senator Tim Kaine that would direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against the Republic of Cuba that have not been authorized by Congress. If enacted, this measure would require the military to cease any unauthorized military operations or engagements involving Cuba, asserting Congress's constitutional authority over military deployments.
As a binding joint resolution, this measure would have the force of law if passed by both chambers and signed by the President. Currently, the bill has been introduced in the Senate and referred to committee for consideration. The practical effect of this resolution, if enacted, would be to ensure that any U.S. military involvement with Cuba must first receive explicit congressional authorization rather than proceeding under executive authority alone.
