This bill proposes an amendment to the War Powers Resolution , aiming to strengthen its enforcement by limiting federal funding. It explicitly prohibits the Department of Defense and other federal agencies from obligating or expending funds to introduce or continue the use of United States Armed Forces in hostilities if such actions are in contravention of the Resolution's requirements . The legislation includes specific exceptions where this funding limitation would not apply. Federal funds may still be used for military actions taken in response to a national emergency created by an imminent attack upon the United States, its territories, possessions, or its Armed Forces. Furthermore, the limitation does not apply to actions responding to an imminent attack upon an ally or partner of the United States.
