Directing Removal of US Forces from Unauthorized Hostilities.

This resolution aims to reassert Congress's constitutional authority over military action by requiring the President to withdraw U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities lacking specific Congressional authorization. This applies particularly to recent strikes against newly designated terrorist groups and drug trafficking organizations. The change ensures greater accountability and transparency regarding the deployment of military personnel (citizens) into conflict zones.
