WHAT THE BILL DOES
AI-writtenThis bill is about who has the power to put American lives at risk in a conflict. Since February 2026, 13 Americans have died and hundreds have been injured in retaliatory strikes. By law, the President is supposed to consult Congress before starting a war, and this bill is a move by lawmakers to take back that control. If it passes, it could end a major military campaign; if it doesn't, the conflict could continue or expand without a formal vote from the people's representatives.
