To direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against the Republic of Cuba that have not been authorized by Congress.
Key claim: A House concurrent resolution directs the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Cuba unless Congress has enacted a declaration of war or specific authorization to use military force.
Abstract
(HCONRES106 · 119th Congress) This concurrent resolution directs the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Cuba unless a declaration of war or authorization to use military force for such purpose has been enacted. Latest action (2026-05-22): Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Why this matters
Concurrent resolutions invoking the War Powers Resolution are a recurring congressional mechanism to reassert Article I war-making authority against executive military action absent an AUMF. Targeting Cuba specifically signals congressional concern that current U.S. posture could escalate to hostilities without statutory authorization, though as a concurrent resolution it lacks the force of law and is largely a signaling instrument.
