The direction would remain in effect unless Congress declares war or passes a specific authorization for the use of force. The resolution says it does not authorize military force. It was introduced in the Senate and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations.
If adopted, the resolution would direct the President to withdraw U.S. forces from hostilities in or affecting Syria under the stated conditions. It does not itself authorize military action.
