Overview
Text
Bill Intelligence

The bill emphasizes Congress's power to declare war and the President's duty to defend the US. It notes that there's no declaration of war or specific authorization for the use of military force against Cuba. It defines the use of force against Cuba as the introduction of US Armed Forces into hostilities. The bill directs the President to remove US Armed Forces from hostilities against Cuba unless explicitly authorized. It clarifies that this doesn't hinder US defense from armed attacks or counternarcotics operations. If passed, the bill will impact the deployment of US Armed Forces in hostilities against Cuba, requiring explicit authorization from Congress.
