Its path through Congress
- Introduced
- In Committee
A concurrent resolution is how the House and the Senate settle something they do together, such as a budget plan or a joint session. It is adopted once both chambers agree to it, and that puts it into effect; it is not a law, so it does not go to the President.
What this bill would do
This concurrent resolution directs the President to remove the United States Armed Forces from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran or its government or military. This includes removing ground forces used for combat or occupation roles. This direction applies unless there is a declaration of war or specific authorization for military force. The resolution includes rules of construction to ensure the United States can still defend itself and its allies. It also ensures that intelligence activities regarding threats from Iran remain unaffected.
