## Summary

**Limits presidential authority to invade or seize territory from Canada, Panama, or Greenland.** The bill bars spending or using U.S. armed forces for such invasions unless Congress declares war, passes a specific law authorizing it, or a national emergency results from an attack or imminent threat to the United States, its territories, or its armed forces. - President and the executive branch: Restricts use of federal funds and orders to invade or seize the named territories unless there is a declaration of war, a specific statute, or a qualifying national emergency. - Congress: Raises the legislative role over offensive military action by tying funding and operational permission to congressional declaration or specific authorization. - U.S. armed forces and operations: Defines "introduction of United States Armed Forces" to include directing, coordinating, moving, or accompanying foreign forces in hostilities and limits funding tied to a national emergency to a 60-day period after such an introduction. - Allies and international policy: Reaffirms commitment to a rules-based order, democratic values, and honoring partnerships while standing against territorial aggression.
