Summary of Bill SJRES 51

Bill 118 SJRes 51 is a joint resolution that aims to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities in Syria that have not been authorized by Congress. The bill is in response to concerns about the involvement of US military in Syria without proper authorization from Congress.

It emphasizes the need for transparency and accountability in military actions, and stresses the importance of congressional oversight in matters of war and peace. Overall, Bill 118 SJRes 51 is a bipartisan effort to uphold the constitutional authority of Congress in matters of war and military engagement.
