• Mar 24Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.

Summary

**What it does:** This House Joint Resolution would require the removal of U.S. military forces from any combat or hostile activities involving Cuba that Congress has not specifically authorized. **Who it affects:** - U.S. Armed Forces personnel who might be deployed in or around Cuba - Military commanders and the Executive Branch, who would need to withdraw unauthorized forces - Congress, which would retain authority over military deployments to Cuba **What would change:** If passed, any current or future U.S. military operations against or within Cuba would need explicit Congressional approval to continue. Without such authorization, forces would have to be withdrawn from hostile activities. This would strengthen Congress's constitutional role in authorizing military action while limiting the President's ability to conduct unauthorized military operations involving Cuba. The resolution is currently in committee and has not been voted on by the full House.
