A joint resolution directing the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities in Ukraine that have not been authorized by Congress.

This joint resolution aims to compel the President to withdraw United States Armed Forces from any hostilities in or affecting Ukraine. It asserts that current U.S. military activities, such as providing real-time intelligence, targeting information, and deploying personnel, constitute engagement in hostilities without proper congressional authorization. The resolution underscores Congress's constitutional authority to declare war, as outlined in the War Powers Clause. The resolution specifically directs the President to remove these forces within 30 days of the resolution's adoption, unless Congress enacts a formal declaration of war or provides specific statutory authorization for their continued involvement. It cites sections of the War Powers Resolution , arguing that the introduction of U.S. Armed Forces into Ukraine, including special forces and military contractors, falls within the definition of engaging in hostilities. The bill also references the President's authorization for Ukraine to use U.S.-provided ATACMS missiles to strike targets inside Russia, which has been a point of contention and concern regarding escalation. The resolution highlights various instances of Ukraine using these U.S.-provided weapons against Russian targets and notes Russian President Vladimir Putin's statements that such actions could be seen as direct NATO involvement, potentially leading to a nuclear response. It also points to the deployment of U.S. military personnel and contractors in Ukraine, which the resolution argues further solidifies the U.S. role in hostilities. Ultimately, the resolution seeks to reassert congressional oversight over military engagements abroad, consistent with the War Powers Resolution.
