Directing the President, pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to remove all United States Armed Forces, other than United States Armed Forces assigned to protect the United States Embassy, from Somalia.
HCONRES 30 is a congressional resolution directing the President to withdraw all U.S. military personnel from Somalia within one year, except for forces protecting the U.S. Embassy. It applies directly to U.S. Armed Forces stationed in Somalia under current operations. The bill requires the President to complete the withdrawal by the date 365 days after the resolution passes, as mandated by the War Powers Resolution. This is a procedural directive focused on ending military presence, not creating new laws or funding.
