SJRES 200 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A joint resolution to direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against the Islamic Republic of Iran that have not been authorized by Congress.

This joint resolution directs the President to remove United States Armed Forces from ongoing hostilities with Iran that were not previously authorized by Congress. The bill relies on the War Powers Resolution, asserting that military actions since February 2026 constitute unauthorized hostilities because no formal declaration of war or specific statutory authorization exists. While ordering a withdrawal, the measure explicitly allows the U.S. to continue defending against attacks on American personnel, sharing intelligence, assisting partner nations, and evacuating U.S. citizens. It applies expedited legislative procedures to ensure the directive is considered quickly by both the House and Senate.
