Directing the President, pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to remove the United States Armed Forces from hostilities in Lebanon that have not been authorized by Congress.

Summary

Directs the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces that are engaged in hostilities in Lebanon if those forces are operating without a Congressional declaration of war or a specific statutory authorization. The resolution orders that such forces be withdrawn within seven days after the resolution is adopted unless Congress passes an authorization; it cites provisions of the War Powers Resolution and finds U.S. support for Israel in Lebanon meets the War Powers Act definition of "introduction" of forces.

• Directs the President to withdraw U.S. forces engaged in hostilities in Lebanon that lack a declaration of war or specific statutory authorization.
• Requires withdrawal within seven days after the resolution is adopted unless Congress enacts authorization.
• Invokes the War Powers Resolution (50 U.S.C. 1544(c), 1547(c)) as the legal basis for the directive.
• Finds that no Congressional authorization has been enacted for U.S. participation in Israel’s military action in Lebanon.
• Treats U.S. activities supporting Israel in Lebanon as an "introduction" of forces under the War Powers Act.
• Does not appropriate funds, create programs, or grant new authorities for military action.
• Shifts the immediate decision point to Congress: either authorize the action or require withdrawal.
