A joint resolution to direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities that have not been authorized by Congress.

Restoration of Congressional Authority: By directing the President to terminate unauthorized hostilities, the bill asserts the finding that Congress has the sole power to declare war under Article I, section 8, clause 11 of the Constitution (Section 1, Clause 1).

Increased Transparency for Decision Makers: The bill highlights that Congress has not received sufficient information regarding vessel passengers, cargo, destinations, or threats (Section 1, Clause 6). Addressing this could provide the public and officials with a better understanding of military actions.

Emphasis on Alternative Methods for Security: The resolution notes that Congress intends to provide resources for drug trafficking prevention through intelligence, law enforcement, and technology rather than solely through military strikes (Section 1, Clause 8).

Potential Delay in Addressing Threats: The resolution directs the termination of military force against entities engaged in the promotion, trafficking, and distribution of illegal drugs unless specifically authorized (Section 2, Clause a).

Specific Limitations on Defense Justifications: The bill explicitly states that drug trafficking does not constitute an armed attack or a threat of an imminent armed attack, which limits the use of military force for self-defense in those specific circumstances (Section 2, Clause b).
