Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States relating to the duration of authorizations of the use of force.

• Congress: Authorizations it enacts for the use of military force abroad without a declaration of war would automatically cease after five years or on the law's stated end date. This rule applies only to Acts enacted after ratification.
• Executive branch: The amendment would limit executive-branch authority to conduct prolonged military operations abroad under open-ended authorizations by imposing a fixed time limit on those authorizations.
• Scope and exclusions: The sunset applies only to post-ratification laws that authorize force outside the United States and does not apply to Acts that include a declaration of war or to laws enacted before ratification.

The amendment is aimed at placing a clear time limit on non-declared war powers and ensuring authorizations end unless Congress or the statute itself provides otherwise.
