Directing the President pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities against the Houthis in Yemen that have not been authorized by Congress.

HCONRES124, introduced on October 9, 2026, invokes Section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution to compel the President to withdraw U.S. forces from hostilities against the Houthis in Yemen that Congress has not authorized. The bill cites Congress's sole power to declare war and notes that no declaration or specific statutory authorization exists for current U.S. operations, including airstrikes, intelligence sharing, and refueling support for Saudi-led coalition actions. As a concurrent resolution, it requires passage by both the House and Senate to become binding; it currently sits in the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. No funding is authorized or appropriated—the bill is purely a directive on the use of military force. The sponsors are junior members (Khanna, Massie) without committee leadership, reducing legislative momentum. The 119th Congress (2025–2027) has a narrow partisan divide, making passage of a war-powers resolution unlikely without broader bipartisan support. No convergence signals are present in the provided data. Structural winners and losers are not identifiable at this stage because the bill has not advanced; defense contractors with exposure to Yemen operations (e.g., munitions, refueling, intelligence platforms) would face only hypothetical, long-tail revenue impacts if enacted. The legislative path requires committee markup, House floor vote, Senate passage, and presidential action (or veto override)—all improbable in the current session. Timeline: no further actions scheduled; the bill is likely to stall in committee.
