To direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities that have not been authorized by Congress.

Summary

Directs the President to terminate the use of U.S. Armed Forces in hostilities directed at the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and at transnational criminal organizations designated as terrorist or specially designated global terrorists since February 20, 2025, under the War Powers Resolution. It also records congressional findings about constitutional war powers, the limits on presidential introduction of forces, and that existing 2001/2002 AUMFs and terrorism designations do not themselves authorize such hostilities, while preserving the President’s right to repel sudden attacks and to act in self-defense.

• Asserts that recent presidential statements and force posture constitute introduction of forces into hostilities under federal law.
