S.J.Res.116

A joint resolution to direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against the Islamic Republic of Iran that have not been authorized by Congress.

Introduced·3/5/26

Directs the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities against Iran not authorized by Congress.

The bill directs the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Iran that have not been authorized by Congress. It notes that Congress has not declared war on Iran or enacted a specific statutory authorization for the use of military force against Iran. The bill references the War Powers Resolution and the Department of State Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1984 and 1985, to assert Congress's constitutional authority over military actions. It also allows for exceptions to protect U.S. personnel and facilities and to share intelligence with partner countries.

The filed bill text is too short for analysis.
