What this amendment would do

SA 6094, submitted by Mr. Kaine, is an amendment to bill S. 4784. Its purpose is to add a new section to the bill titled "Meaning of Introduction of United States Armed Forces into Hostilities for Purposes of the War Powers Resolution."

The amendment aims to change the War Powers Resolution (50 U.S.C. 1543) by adding a new subsection that defines when United States Armed Forces are "introduced into hostilities." This includes:

  • Any use of lethal or potentially lethal force by or against United States Armed Forces.
  • This applies whether or not the force is used for self-defense.
  • It applies regardless of the domain.
  • It includes attacks that are remotely launched, piloted, or directed, regardless of whether they are intermittent.
