This concurrent resolution, introduced in the House of Representatives, aims to direct the President to remove United States Armed Forces from any ongoing hostilities with the Islamic Republic of Iran. It explicitly invokes section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution as the legal basis for this directive, asserting Congress's authority over military engagements. The resolution includes a critical exception, allowing forces to remain if they are necessary to defend the United States or its allies/partners from an imminent attack . However, for any such defensive deployment, the President must fully comply with the reporting requirements of section 5(b) of the War Powers Resolution. This directive remains in effect unless Congress issues a formal declaration of war or a specific authorization for the use of military force against Iran.
