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

This binding joint resolution would require the President to remove United States Armed Forces from any hostilities within or against the Islamic Republic of Iran that have not been specifically authorized by Congress. By utilizing the framework of a joint resolution, the proposal aims to assert congressional authority over war powers and limit military engagement in the region unless a formal declaration of war or specific statutory authorization is granted. If enacted, this measure would have the force of law and would necessitate a presidential signature or a veto override to take effect.

For everyday citizens, the practical impact of this legislation would be an increase in congressional oversight regarding where and how American service members are deployed in the Middle East. It seeks to prevent the executive branch from maintaining long-term military conflict with Iran without a public debate and a vote by elected representatives in Congress. This could potentially reduce the risk of an undeclared war and would require the government to provide a clear legal justification for any continued military presence involving active hostilities against Iranian forces.
