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 remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran or its government and military. It specifically covers potential ground forces in combat or occupation roles. This directive applies unless there is a specific authorization for use of military force or a declaration of war. The resolution includes rules of construction to ensure the United States can still defend itself and its allies from imminent attacks. It also protects the ability to maintain defensive troop presences and intelligence activities.
