Directing the initiation of litigation for actions by the President or other executive branch officials inconsistent with their duties under the Constitution of the United States.

This resolution directs the Speaker of the House of Representatives to initiate or intervene in one or more civil actions in federal court. These actions would be taken on behalf of the House to seek appropriate relief regarding the failure of the President or other executive branch officials to act consistently with their duties under the Constitution and laws of the United States.

The specific issues triggering this litigation include the ongoing hostilities reported by the President, the implementation of section 5(b) of the War Powers Resolution mandating the termination of unauthorized hostilities, and the implementation of H. Con. Res. 86 directing the removal of U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The resolution further stipulates that the Speaker shall notify the House upon initiating or intervening in such actions. The Office of the General Counsel of the House is tasked with representing the House in these civil actions, with the option to employ outside counsel and other experts as needed.
