S.J.Res. 184 — A joint resolution to direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against the Islamic Republic of Iran that have not been authorized by Congress.

This section sets forth nine congressional findings concerning the U.S. Constitution's allocation of war powers, the President's notification on March 2, 2026, of military force initiated against Iran on February 28, 2026, the absence of a declaration of war or specific statutory authorization for such force, and the War Powers Resolution's requirements to terminate the use of U.S. Armed Forces after 60 days (ending May 1, 2026) absent specified exceptions or a 30-day extension for unavoidable military necessity. (Thus, the findings invoke expedited congressional procedures under 50 U.S.C. 1546a for any joint resolution or bill requiring removal of U.S. forces from hostilities absent a declaration of war or specific authorization.)

This section directs the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Iran unless explicitly authorized by a declaration of war or specific authorization for use of military force, pursuant to specified statutory procedures. It includes a rule of construction clarifying that this does not prevent (1) defending against attacks on the U.S., its personnel, or facilities abroad; (2) collecting, analyzing, or sharing intelligence related to threats from Iran or its proxies, including with Israel and U.S. partners; (3) assisting Israel and other nations with defensive measures or defensive materiel against retaliatory attacks by Iran or its proxies; or (4) providing assistance for the security, departure, and evacuation of U.S. citizens affected by the hostilities.
