Bill would push U.S. forces out of conflict with Iran without Congress

Officially: Directing the President, pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran.

U.S. forces would have to leave hostilities with Iran unless Congress approves them. The bill still allows force to stop an imminent attack on the U.S. or an ally or partner, but that use would face War Powers reporting and time limits.
