H.Con.Res. 93 (119th): This concurrent resolution directs the President to remove U.S

This concurrent resolution directs the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities against Iran unless explicitly authorized by a declaration of war or a congressional authorization for use of military force against Iran. Elements of the U.S. Armed Forces needed to defend the United States, an ally, or a partner from imminent attack are not covered by this requirement provided the President complies with a specified provision of the War Powers Resolution. (The provision generally requires the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities no more than 60 days after the President notifies or is required to notify Congress of such involvement, unless Congress authorizes such use. For more information on the War Powers Resolution, see CRS In Focus 13134 .)

Recorded summary

This House concurrent resolution directs the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities against Iran unless Congress has declared war or authorized the use of force against Iran. It exempts forces needed to defend the United States, an ally, or a partner from imminent attack, provided the President complies with a specified War Powers Resolution provision that generally requires removal within 60 days of notifying or being required to notify Congress, absent congressional authorization.

Theological note: The measure bears on the Christian concern that civil authority must not wage war without lawful warrant, and that the sword is entrusted to government for justice and defense, not for unjust aggression. It also raises the question of bloodguilt, since unauthorized hostilities risk unjust killing. The imminent-defense exception and the question of executive wartime decision-making are prudential matters that Scripture does not settle at this level of detail.
