Directs the President, under the War Powers Resolution, to remove all U.S. Armed Forces from Lebanon no later than seven days after the adoption of this concurrent resolution. It uses the War Powers timing authority to set a strict 7-day deadline tied to the resolution's adoption date for withdrawal. This action would require rapid withdrawal planning and execution for any U.S. military personnel in Lebanon and reinforces Congressional assertion of war powers over overseas troop deployments.
