This joint resolution mandates the removal of United States Armed Forces from any hostilities occurring within or against Venezuela, unless such actions have received explicit authorization from Congress through a declaration of war or specific statutory approval. It emphasizes that Congress holds the sole constitutional power to declare war and notes the absence of any such declaration or specific authorization for military engagement in Venezuela. The resolution asserts that any use of U.S. military force in Venezuela constitutes "hostilities" under the War Powers Resolution, thereby triggering congressional oversight. It directs the President to terminate these unauthorized military engagements, while explicitly stating that this directive does not impede the United States' inherent right to defend itself from an armed attack or the threat of an imminent armed attack.
