War Powers Priority Procedures Modernization Act
Referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and in addition to the Committee on Rules, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Summary
The bill adds joint resolutions to the War Powers Resolution’s priority procedures, letting Congress move them more quickly. If the President vetoes such a resolution, debate on the veto message is capped at 20 hours in each chamber. It applies especially when a joint resolution seeks to pull U.S. troops out of overseas hostilities without a formal war declaration or specific statutory authority.
