Directing the President pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities in Lebanon.
This bill aims to direct the President to remove United States Armed Forces from any current hostilities in Lebanon, using the authority granted by section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution. It was introduced on June 3, 2026, and referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. However, on June 30, 2026, the House voted on the resolution, and it failed to pass with a vote of 189 in favor and 235 against (Roll no. 232). After the vote, a motion to reconsider was tabled without objection, and further proceedings were postponed.
The bill would affect U.S. military personnel currently engaged in Lebanon and the broader foreign policy and defense strategies concerning the region. By directing the President to remove troops, it seeks to influence the U.S.'s military involvement in the ongoing situation in Lebanon.
Currently, the bill is no longer active in the legislative process after failing to pass in the House. There have been no further actions taken since the vote.
