To direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities against vessels operating in the Caribbean Sea or the Eastern Pacific Ocean that have not been authorized by Congress.

Summary

Requires the President to stop using U.S. Armed Forces in hostilities against vessels operating in the Caribbean Sea or the Eastern Pacific that began on September 2, 2025, unless Congress has declared war or passed a specific authorization for the use of force. The resolution finds these maritime strikes constitute "hostilities" under the War Powers Resolution and notes 60 days have passed since congressional notification without authorization; it preserves the right to act in self-defense against an actual or imminent armed attack.
