Show full summary
  • Service members: It would end U.S. participation in unauthorized activities tied to the Houthi conflict, including direct airstrikes, intelligence sharing, aerial refueling, and operational roles accompanying Saudi-led strikes when those actions lack congressional approval.
  • Executive branch: The resolution would constrain the President to stop unauthorized hostilities or to seek a declaration of war or a specific law authorizing continued military involvement.
  • Congressional authority: It reasserts Congress's sole constitutional power to declare war and directs that only explicit statutory authorization or a declaration of war would permit continued hostilities against the Houthis.

Remove U.S. troops from Yemen hostilities

If both chambers adopt this resolution, it would direct the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities against the Houthis in Yemen that Congress has not authorized. It would not apply if Congress enacts a declaration of war or a specific law authorizing the use of force. The direction covers direct U.S. airstrikes and support such as intelligence sharing, targeting, and midair refueling. It also covers assigning U.S. personnel to command, coordinate, move with, or accompany foreign forces that are engaged or imminently threatened with hostilities. The text sets the withdrawal command but includes no funding, dates, or enforcement rules beyond that directive.
