## Summary

**This concurrent resolution would require the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities against Yemen's Houthis that lack congressional authorization.** It grounds that demand in the War Powers Resolution and a set of findings that Congress has not authorized these actions. - 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.
