This measure would stop federal funds from being used for any military action in or against Cuba from the day it becomes law through December 31, 2026. The ban applies unless Congress either declares war or passes a specific authorization for force that meets the War Powers Resolution. The restriction does not apply to uses of force that fit the exception in section 2(c) of the War Powers Resolution.
If enacted, federal agencies could not obligate or spend federal money to carry out military operations in or against Cuba during the covered period unless Congress gives explicit approval under the steps named above. The measure has been introduced in the House and referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Committee on Armed Services for review.
