Congress would direct the President to pull US troops from Cuba if not approved

This resolution would direct the President to remove U.S. troops from any fighting in or against Cuba if Congress has not officially approved it. This type of resolution expresses Congress's position but does not become a law. It would formally call for the President to get specific approval to keep troops involved in hostilities there, as outlined in the War Powers Resolution.

What Would Change

Currently, the War Powers Resolution allows Congress to direct the President to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities. However, there is no specific Congressional directive concerning the removal of forces from hostilities in or against Cuba. This resolution would change that. If adopted, Congress would formally direct the President to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Cuba. This directive would apply unless such actions are explicitly authorized by a declaration of war or a specific authorization for use of military force.

Key Provisions

Would direct the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from any fighting in or against Cuba.
