Directing the President, pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran.

This concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 40) would direct the President, under section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran. The withdrawal would apply to all hostilities except for those forces that may be necessary to defend the United States or an ally or partner from imminent attack, and only if the President fully complies with section 5(b) of the War Powers Resolution (which covers consultation with Congress and reporting). The directive remains in effect unless Iran is explicitly authorized to use military force against the United States through a declaration of war or a specific congressional authorization for use of military force (AUMF) against Iran. The bill is introduced in the House, referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and is a non-binding concurrent resolution expressing Congress’s position rather than creating new law or funding.
