A concurrent resolution is how the House and the Senate settle something they do together, such as a budget plan or a joint session. It is adopted once both chambers agree to it, and that puts it into effect; it is not a law, so it does not go to the President.
What this bill would do
This concurrent resolution directs the President to end the use of United States Armed Forces in hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran or its government and military. This includes stopping potential ground forces used for combat or occupation. The directive applies unless there is a declaration of war or specific authorization for military force. It does not prevent the United States from defending itself or its allies from imminent attacks. Furthermore, it does not stop the maintenance of troops in the region for defensive purposes or intelligence activities.
