The Constituency

H.Con.Res. 84 · International Affairs

Directing the President pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution to remove United States Armed Forces from Lebanon.

Introduced Apr 13, 2026 · Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection.

What does this mean?

Congress would be telling the President to pull all U.S. military forces out of Lebanon within one week of this measure passing. It relies on a law called the War Powers Resolution, which lets Congress force an end to U.S. military involvement somewhere without needing the President's sign-off. In practice, this would affect any U.S. troops currently stationed or operating in Lebanon, who would have to withdraw on that tight timeline, and it would limit the President's ability to keep forces there on his own authority.
