S.J.Res.171

Directs the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities against Iran unless authorized by Congress.

This bill directs the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Iran unless explicitly authorized by a declaration of war or a specific authorization for use of military force. It emphasizes Congress's sole power to declare war and the President's responsibility to defend the U.S. and its interests. The bill also allows for defensive measures to protect U.S. territory and personnel, and for assistance in the security and evacuation of U.S. citizens affected by the hostilities.
