Summary

Directs the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Cuba unless Congress issues a declaration of war or a specific Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) that explicitly allows those hostilities. The measure grounds the directive in the Constitution and existing statutes, finds that unspecified use of force in/against Cuba counts as introducing U.S. forces into hostilities under the War Powers Resolution, and preserves the President's authority to act in self-defense and to conduct lawful counternarcotics operations.

• Requires the President to withdraw U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities in or against Cuba unless Congress passes a declaration of war or a specific AUMF authorizing those hostilities.
• Affirms that Congress holds the constitutional power to declare war and finds no current congressional authorization for force against Cuba.
• Finds that U.S. military action in/against Cuba counts as introducing forces into hostilities under the War Powers Resolution.
• Directs removal actions to proceed under statutory expedited procedures that apply to resolutions or bills ordering removal of forces.
• Preserves the President's authority to act in self-defense against an armed or imminent armed attack.
• Explicitly allows lawful counternarcotics operations to continue despite the removal directive.
• Shifts the burden to Congress to pass a clear authorization to continue hostilities involving Cuba, rather than relying on implicit or general authorities.
