What this bill would do

This bill is known as the No War Appropriations through Reconciliation Act or the No WAR Act. It amends the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974. Specifically, the legislation creates a new point of order in both the Senate and the House of Representatives. This rule blocks the consideration of reconciliation measures that provide budget authority for unauthorized military operations against Iran. Such funding is prohibited unless Congress has explicitly authorized the hostilities through a declaration of war or a specific authorization for use of military force.
