The committee holds it, and most bills are never heard from again. A hearing or a committee vote would be news; silence is the usual outcome, and it kills the bill without anyone voting against it.
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 potential ground forces used for occupation or in a combat role. Such removal is required unless there is a declaration of war or specific authorization for the use of military force. The resolution does not prevent the United States from defending itself or its allies from imminent attack. Additionally, it does not restrict troop presence for defensive purposes or intelligence activities. Finally, this resolution does not authorize the use of military force.
