S.192

Federal SB192 restricts first-use of nuclear weapons to cases where Congress declares war.

Federal SB192, the Restricting First Use of Nuclear Weapons Act of 2025, aims to prevent the first-use of nuclear weapons without a congressional declaration of war. The bill defines a "first-use nuclear strike" as an attack without confirmation from the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to the President of a nuclear strike against the U.S. or its allies. It prohibits federal funds from being used for such strikes unless authorized by a congressional declaration of war.
