## Summary

**Remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities in the Sultanate of Oman** unless Congress declares war or passes a specific law authorizing the use of military force. It would preserve the United States' right to defend itself against armed attacks or imminent threats. - Service members and military operations would need to withdraw from hostilities in Oman unless Congress authorizes force, changing ongoing or planned U.S. activities there. - The President and Executive Branch would face a legal constraint on using force in Oman but could still act to repel armed attacks or imminent threats. - Congress would be compelled to decide whether to authorize military action in Oman, increasing legislative control over war-making in that theater. - U.S. diplomacy could be affected because the bill notes Oman is a key partner in regional mediation and hostage efforts, so military removals may change how the U.S. engages through Oman.
