18 ARMED FORCES FROM HOS19 TILITIES IN THE REPUBLIC 

20 OF YEMEN THAT HAVE NOT 

21 BEEN AUTHORIZED BY CON22 GRESS 

23 SEC. 10001. FINDINGS. 

24 Congress makes the following findings: 


pbinns on DSK79D2C42PROD with BILLS
344 

HR 2740 PCS

1 (1) Congress has the sole power to declare war 

2 under article I, section 8, clause 11 of the United 

3 States Constitution. 

4 (2) Congress has not declared war with respect 

5 to, or provided a specific statutory authorization for, 

6 the conflict between military forces led by Saudi 

7 Arabia, including forces from the United Arab Emir8 ates, Bahrain, Kuwait, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, 

9 Senegal, and Sudan (the Saudi-led coalition), 

10 against the Houthis, also known as Ansar Allah, in 

11 the Republic of Yemen. 

12 (3) Since March 2015, members of the United 

13 States Armed Forces have been introduced into hos14 tilities between the Saudi-led coalition and the 

15 Houthis, including providing to the Saudi-led coali16 tion aerial targeting assistance, intelligence sharing, 

17 and mid-flight aerial refueling. 

18 (4) The United States has established a Joint 

19 Combined Planning Cell with Saudi Arabia, in which 

20 members of the United States Armed Forces assist 

21 in aerial targeting and help to coordinate military 

22 and intelligence activities. 

23 (5) In December 2017, Secretary of Defense 

24 James N. Mattis stated, ‘‘We have gone in to be 

25 very—to be helpful where we can in identifying how 


pbinns on DSK79D2C42PROD with BILLS
345 

HR 2740 PCS

1 you do target analysis and how you make certain 

2 you hit the right thing.’’. 

3 (6) The conflict between the Saudi-led coalition 

4 and the Houthis constitutes, within the meaning of 

5 section 4(a) of the War Powers Resolution (50 

6 U.S.C. 1543(a)), either hostilities or a situation 

7 where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly 

8 indicated by the circumstances into which United 

9 States Armed Forces have been introduced. 

10 (7) Section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution 

11 (50 U.S.C. 1544(c)) states that ‘‘at any time that 

12 United States Armed Forces are engaged in hos13 tilities outside the territory of the United States, its 

14 possessions and territories without a declaration of 

15 war or specific statutory authorization, such forces 

16 shall be removed by the President if the Congress so 

17 directs’’. 

18 (8) Section 8(c) of the War Powers Resolution 

19 (50 U.S.C. 1547(c)) defines the introduction of 

20 United States Armed Forces to include ‘‘the assign21 ment of members of such armed forces to command, 

22 coordinate, participate in the movement of, or ac23 company the regular or irregular military forces of 

24 any foreign country or government when such mili25 tary forces are engaged, or there exists an imminent 


pbinns on DSK79D2C42PROD with BILLS
346 

HR 2740 PCS

1 threat that such forces will become engaged, in hos2 tilities,’’ and activities that the United States is con3 ducting in support of the Saudi-led coalition, includ4 ing aerial refueling and targeting assistance, fall 

5 within this definition. 

6 (9) Section 1013 of the Department of State 

7 Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1984 and 1985 (50 

8 U.S.C. 1546a) provides that any joint resolution or 

9 bill to require the removal of United States Armed 

10 Forces engaged in hostilities without a declaration of 

11 war or specific statutory authorization shall be con12 sidered in accordance with the expedited procedures 

13 of section 601(b) of the International Security and 

14 Arms Export Control Act of 1976 (Public Law 94– 

15 329; 90 Stat. 765). 

16 (10) No specific statutory authorization for the 

17 use of United States Armed Forces with respect to 

18 the conflict between the Saudi-led coalition and the 

19 Houthis in Yemen has been enacted, and no provi20 sion of law explicitly authorizes the provision of tar21 geting assistance or of midair refueling services to 

22 warplanes of Saudi Arabia or the United Arab Emir23 ates that are engaged in such conflict.
