Directing US Troop Withdrawal from Syria: Ending Unauthorized Hostilities.

This resolution mandates the President to remove all US Armed Forces engaged in hostilities in Syria within 30 days due to the lack of specific Congressional authorization. The goal is to reassert Congress's constitutional authority over declaring war and military engagement. If adopted, this measure would immediately reduce the significant risk faced by the approximately 900 US troops currently deployed there.
Key points
Requires the President to withdraw approximately 900 US troops from Syria within 30 days unless Congress formally authorizes the mission.
Reaffirms that Congress holds the sole constitutional power to declare war, challenging the executive branch's ongoing military actions.
Aims to reduce the danger and casualties among US service members who are frequently targeted by hostile groups in Syria.
