What it does
This joint resolution directs the President to terminate the use of U.S. Armed Forces in hostilities against vessels in the Caribbean Sea or Eastern Pacific Ocean that have not been authorized by Congress, based on the War Powers Resolution and related statutes. It applies to military actions begun on or after September 2, 2025, and requires termination unless Congress has declared war or enacted specific authorization for such force. The resolution preserves the right to defend against an armed attack or imminent threat but mandates withdrawal from unauthorized hostilities. It was introduced in the Senate and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations.
