It responds to reports that U.S. forces have been assisting Israel's military campaign in Lebanon — including command, coordination, movement support, or accompanying Israeli forces — without Congress ever voting to authorize that involvement. The resolution cites the Constitution's grant of war-declaring power to Congress and the War Powers Resolution's requirement that unauthorized hostilities end when Congress so directs. It does not address Israel's military operations directly, only the legality of ongoing U.S. participation in or support for them. Sponsored by three House members, the measure sets a firm one-week deadline for compliance if adopted.</p>","status":"INTRODUCED","topics":["DEFENSE"],"introducedAt":"2026-03-27T00:00:00+00:00","latestActionAt":"2026-03-27T00:00:00+00:00","congressGovUrl":null,"accountabilityFlags":{},"tldr":"Gives the President seven days to withdraw U.S. forces from hostilities in Lebanon unless Congress authorizes the involvement.","summaryStandard":null,"flagExplainers":{},"flagValence":{},"needsResummary":false,"displaySummaryHtml":null,"rawStatusText":"Introduced in House","chamber":"HOUSE","policyArea":"International Affairs","legislativeSubjects":[],"lawStatus":null,"lawNumber":null,"latestActionText":"Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.","latestTextVersion":"Introduced in House","textVersionUsed":null,"dateAdded":"2026-07-18T00:00:00+00:00","summarizedAt":null,"recordId":"4f87adb8-ee9d-416e-b1dc-35291efbf07d","feedIdentityKey":"119/hconres/83","websiteBillId":"HCONRES-83","yourvoiceSummary":"This resolution directs the President to withdraw U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities in Lebanon within seven days unless Congress declares war or specifically authorizes the military action.
