Elements of the U.S. Armed Forces needed to defend the United States, an ally, or a partner from imminent attack are not covered by this requirement provided the President complies with a specified provision of the War Powers Resolution. (The provision generally requires the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities no more than 60 days after the President notifies or is required to notify Congress of such involvement, unless Congress authorizes such use. For more information on the War Powers Resolution, see CRS In Focus 13134.)","displaySummary":"<p><strong>YVN Summary</strong></p>\n\n<p>This resolution directs the President to withdraw U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran under the War Powers Resolution, a law that lets Congress order troop withdrawal from unauthorized conflicts. It exempts forces needed to defend the United States or its allies from an imminent attack, as long as the President follows required reporting rules under the War Powers Resolution. The withdrawal requirement would not apply if Congress later passes a declaration of war or specific authorization for military action against Iran. It is one of several similar resolutions introduced by different members of Congress on the same topic, reflecting ongoing debate over presidential military authority.</p>","status":"INTRODUCED","topics":["DEFENSE"],"introducedAt":"2026-05-20T00:00:00+00:00","latestActionAt":"2026-05-20T00:00:00+00:00","congressGovUrl":null,"accountabilityFlags":{},"tldr":"Orders U.S. forces out of hostilities with Iran unless Congress authorizes them, exempting defense against imminent attacks.","summaryStandard":null,"flagExplainers":{},"flagValence":{},"needsResummary":false,"displaySummaryHtml":null,"rawStatusText":"Introduced in House","chamber":"HOUSE","policyArea":"International Affairs","legislativeSubjects":["Conflicts and wars","Congressional oversight","Iran","Middle East","Military operations and strategy","Presidents and presidential powers, Vice Presidents","War and emergency powers"],"lawStatus":null,"lawNumber":null,"latestActionText":"Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.","latestTextVersion":"Introduced in House","textVersionUsed":null,"dateAdded":"2026-07-19T00:00:00+00:00","summarizedAt":"2026-07-19T00:00:00+00:00","recordId":"fe7eb4d7-a68b-453d-bb09-1d030a840203","feedIdentityKey":"119/hconres/103","websiteBillId":"HCONRES-103","yourvoiceSummary":"This resolution directs the President to withdraw U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran under the War Powers Resolution, a law that lets Congress order troop withdrawal from unauthorized conflicts.
