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.

# Summary of SJRES 114 **What the Bill Would Do** This joint resolution would require the U.S. military to stop any military actions against Iran that Congress has not explicitly approved. If passed, the President would need to withdraw American armed forces from any hostilities with Iran within a specified timeframe, unless Congress votes to authorize such military operations. The bill is based on the constitutional principle that Congress—not the President alone—has the power to declare war. **Who It Affects and Key Details** The bill would primarily affect U.S. military personnel and operations in the Middle East, as well as U.S.

foreign policy toward Iran. It applies only to military actions that lack congressional authorization, meaning it doesn't impact operations Congress has already approved. The resolution reflects ongoing debates about presidential war powers and whether current military operations in the region have adequate congressional backing. **Current Status** SJRES 114 is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House or Senate. As a joint resolution sponsored by Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisconsin), it would require approval from both chambers of Congress and the President's signature to become law.
