AI plain-language summary

This resolution says the President must pull U.S. military forces out of fights against groups labeled as terrorist organizations or drug trafficking groups — specifically those designated on or after February 20, 2025 — unless Congress has officially declared war or approved the use of military force. It also says this rule does not stop the U.S. from defending itself against an actual or upcoming attack, or from using the military to help with approved drug-fighting operations inside the country.
