Show full summary
  • Service members and families: Would require withdrawal of U.S. forces from hostilities in Syria within 30 days of adoption unless Congress approves a later date. This affects about 2,000 U.S. military personnel reported deployed to Syria.
  • The President and military leaders: Would constrain presidential authority to conduct military operations in Syria without a declaration of war or a specific congressional authorization.
  • Congress and legal framing: Would state that the post-9/11 Authorization for Use of Military Force and the 2002 Iraq AUMF do not authorize action in Syria and would rely on specified statutes and the War Powers Resolution to compel removal.
