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

    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring),

SECTION 1. TERMINATION OF USE OF FORCE.

    (a) Termination.--Pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers 
Resolution (50 U.S.C. 1544(c)), Congress hereby directs the President 
to remove the use of United States Armed Forces from hostilities 
against the Islamic Republic of Iran or any part of its government or 
military, including potential ground forces in a combat role or used 
for occupation, unless explicitly authorized by a declaration of war or 
specific authorization for use of military force against Iran.
    (b) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in this section may be construed 
to--
            (1) prevent the United States from defending itself, its 
        Armed Forces, its diplomatic facilities, or allied states from 
        imminent attack;
            (2) prevent the United States Armed Forces from maintaining 
        a troop presence in the region for defensive purposes; or
            (3) force the removal of United States Armed Forces in the 
        region who are not engaged in hostilities against Iran.

SEC. 2. RULE OF CONSTRUCTION RELATING TO INTELLIGENCE SHARING.

    Nothing in this resolution may be construed to influence or disrupt 
any intelligence, counterintelligence, or investigative activities 
relating to threats in or emanating from Iran or surrounding countries 
conducted by, or in conjunction with, the United States Government 
involving--
            (1) the collection of intelligence;
            (2) the analysis of intelligence; or
            (3) the sharing of intelligence between the United States 
        and any coalition partner, if the President determines such 
        sharing is appropriate and in the national security interests 
        of the United States.

SEC. 3. RULE OF CONSTRUCTION RELATING TO NONAUTHORIZATION OF THE USE OF 
              MILITARY FORCE.

    Consistent with section 8(a)(1) of the War Powers Resolution (50 
U.S.C. 1547(a)(1)), nothing in this concurrent resolution may be 
construed as authorizing the use of military force.
                                 <all>
