a United Nations or mutual security treaty military operation absent

A BILL 
To prohibit the deployment of United States Armed Forces 
in support of a United Nations or mutual security treaty 
military operation absent express prior statutory author-
ization from Congress for such deployment, and for other 
purposes. 
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 
SECTION 1. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) Article I, section 8 of the Constitution vests 
solely in Congress the power to declare war.

(2) The Constitution does not permit the Presi-
dent and the Senate through the treaty process to 
transfer article I congressional authority to inter-
national and regional organizations. 
(3) From 1789 to 1950, all offensive wars were 
either declared or authorized by Congress. From 
1950 forward, presidents have circumvented Con-
gress and the Constitution by claiming to receive au-
thority from the United Nations Security Council 
and from such mutual security treaties as the North 
Atlantic Treaty. 
(4) The Charter of the United Nations requires 
each member nation to determine its ‘‘constitutional 
processes’’ for reaching a special agreement that 
contributes troops and equipment to a United Na-
tions military operation. Congress defined United 
States constitutional processes by enacting the 
United Nations Participation Act of 1945. Section 6 
of such Act (22 U.S.C. 287d) provides: ‘‘The Presi-
dent is authorized to negotiate a special agreement 
or agreements with the Security Council which shall 
be subject to the approval of the Congress by appro-
priate Act or joint resolution . . . .’’. 
(5) Section 8(a)(2) of the War Powers Resolu-
tion (50 U.S.C. 1547(a)(2)) specifically states that

TO FAMILIES WITH DEPENDENT CHILDREN;
REPORT TO THE CONGRESS.
(a) STUDY.—The Secretary of Health and Human

enter into a contract with a private party or parties
to perform such identification.
(b) REPORT TO THE CONGRESS.—Not later than 6
months after the date of the enactment of this Act, the
Secretary of Health and Human Services shall submit to
the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Rep-
resentatives and the Committee on Finance of the Senate
a report on the results of the study required by subsection
