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

Summary

Requires the President to end use of U.S. Armed Forces for hostilities against any organization designated on or after February 20, 2025 as a foreign terrorist organization or specially designated global terrorist, any state where those entities operate, or any non-state organizations engaged in illegal drug trafficking, unless Congress issues a declaration of war or a specific authorization for the use of military force. The resolution records findings about recent U.S. strikes, gaps in information provided to Congress, invokes War Powers Resolution authorities, and preserves the U.S. right of self-defense and limited support for authorized counternarcotics operations.

• Requires the President to end U.S. military hostilities against entities designated as FTOs/SDGTs after Feb 20, 2025, associated states, or specified drug-trafficking groups unless Congress declares war or passes a specific AUMF.
• Finds recent U.S. strikes in September 2025 met the War Powers Resolution threshold for "hostilities" and that Congress lacked sufficient information about those strikes.
• Affirms that designation as an FTO or SDGT does not itself authorize use of lethal military force.
• Preserves the U.S. right of self-defense and limited use of forces in authorized counternarcotics support to civil authorities.
• Directs action under War Powers Resolution authorities and cites expedited procedural provisions for congressional measures to remove forces engaged in hostilities without authorization.
• Declares that drug trafficking alone does not constitute an "armed attack" justifying war powers exceptions.
• Emphasizes Congress's willingness to supply resources and authorities for counternarcotics if the executive requests them with appropriate legal justification.
• Does not allocate new funding or create new programs; it imposes a legal restriction on the executive branch's use of military force.
