Congress must approve U.S. military action in Mexico.
This bill stops the U.S. from using military force in Mexico unless Congress agrees. Congress would need to declare war or pass a special law to allow it. This rule lasts until December 31, 2026.
Today, the President can deploy military forces under certain conditions outlined in the War Powers Resolution, requiring notification to Congress. This bill would specifically prevent the U.S. government from spending any money on military force in or against Mexico. This would not apply unless Congress formally declares war, passes a specific authorization, or if the action falls under specific self-defense rules. This change would be in effect from the bill's signing until December 31, 2026.
