## Summary

**Withdraw U.S. forces from unauthorized hostilities in or against Cuba.** This bill would direct the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from any hostilities within or against the Republic of Cuba that lack explicit congressional authorization. - Service members and commanders: Forces engaged in hostilities in or against Cuba without a declaration of war or a specific authorization for use of military force would be subject to withdrawal. - Presidential role: The resolution invokes section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution and directs the President to act under that authority unless Congress grants the specified authorization. - Congressional authority: It conditions continued U.S. military action in or against Cuba on explicit congressional approval, defined as either a declaration of war or a specific authorization for use of military force. - Legal and budget limits: As a concurrent resolution it does not create new law or appropriate funds and it does not include a timetable, funding mechanism, or enforcement mechanism.
