To direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities that have not been authorized by Congress.

This concurrent resolution directs the President to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and any transnational criminal organizations designated as Foreign Terrorist Organizations or Specially Designated Global Terrorists since February 20, 2025. This directive is issued pursuant to Section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution , which mandates the removal of forces engaged in unauthorized hostilities. The resolution asserts that Congress has the sole constitutional power to declare war and authorize military force, and no such authorization exists for the current military actions. It specifically states that neither the 2001 nor 2002 Authorizations for Use of Military Force provide authority for operations against Venezuela or the specified criminal organizations. The resolution also clarifies that the designation of an entity as a Foreign Terrorist Organization does not grant the President legal authority to use military force. While allowing for self-defense, it explicitly states that drug trafficking does not constitute an armed attack justifying military action under the War Powers Resolution.
