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 United States Armed Forces from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran or its government and military. This includes the removal of potential ground forces in a combat or occupation role. This directive remains in place unless there is a declaration of war or specific authorization for the use of military force. The resolution includes rules of construction to ensure the United States can still defend itself and its allies from imminent attacks. It also protects intelligence-sharing activities and does not authorize the use of military force.
