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

This joint resolution directs the removal of United States Armed Forces from unauthorized hostilities within or against the Sultanate of Oman. The text states that Congress holds the sole power to declare war, and it notes that Congress has not declared war on Oman or given specific authorization to use military force there. It points out that Oman is an important U.S. partner that plays a key role in regional diplomacy and mediation, including securing the release of U.S. hostages. The resolution triggers expedited procedures to require the President to remove troops from hostilities unless Congress explicitly authorizes the military action. Finally, the measure explicitly states that nothing in the section prevents the U.S. from defending itself against an armed attack or an imminent armed attack.
