What it would do
- The resolution directs the President to remove U.S. forces from fighting against Iran without explicit congressional authorization.
- Congress could authorize fighting through a declaration of war or specific approval for military force against Iran.
- Forces needed to defend the United States, an ally, or a partner from imminent attack are exempt.
- This exception requires the President to follow a specified War Powers Resolution rule.
- That rule generally requires withdrawal within 60 days after the President notifies Congress or is required to notify Congress.
- Congressional authorization is an exception to that deadline.

Official summary from the Congressional Research Service
This concurrent resolution directs the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities against Iran unless explicitly authorized by a declaration of war or a congressional authorization for use of military force against Iran. Elements of the U.S. Armed Forces needed to defend the United States, an ally, or a partner from imminent attack are not covered by this requirement provided the President complies with a specified provision of the War Powers Resolution. (The provision generally requires the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities no more than 60 days after the President notifies or is required to notify Congress of such involvement, unless Congress authorizes such use. For more information on the War Powers Resolution, see CRS In Focus 13134 .)
