This bill, the Prevent Endless Wars Act, would change the War Powers Resolution (50 U.S.C. 1545). It would add a new subsection (e) to section 6. That new subsection says subsections (a) through (d) of section 6 "may not apply" to any joint resolution or bill under section 5(b) that authorizes use of United States Armed Forces for more than 5 years or for an unspecified period of time. The bill says the change applies to such authorizations introduced after the bill becomes law. The bill's short title is the Prevent Endless Wars Act.
If Congress introduces an authorization for use of military force after this law takes effect that lasts longer than five years or has no end date, the special procedures in section 6(a)–(d) of the War Powers Resolution would not apply to that authorization. The text does not provide further detail about how congressional floor or committee timing would change.
