Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States relating to the duration of authorizations of the use of force.

Summary

The joint resolution would add a new amendment to the Constitution that makes any congressional act authorizing overseas military force without a formal declaration of war expire after five years, or earlier if the act itself ends the authorization. It would affect future authorizations of force, the President’s ability to conduct military operations, and the U.S. armed forces. The amendment would only take effect if ratified by three‑quarters of the states within seven years.
