Whereas the settlement of the 13 colonies was driven in part by those seeking refuge from government-sponsored religious persecution; Whereas the Framers of the Constitution of the United States recognized the centrality of freedom of conscience to the establishment of the United States, enshrining in the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States that Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances ; Whereas churches, synagogues, mosques, and other religious organizations have played a central and invaluable role in life in the United States; and Whereas Congress has recognized the importance of religious institutions by enacting a variety of legal protections for those institutions, including exemption from income taxes: Now, therefore, be it

That— (1) the protections of freedom of conscience enshrined in the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States remain central to the experiment of the United States in republican self-government under the Constitution of the United States; (2) government should not be in the business of dictating what correct religious beliefs are; and (3) any effort by the government to condition the receipt of the protections of the Constitution of the United States and the laws of the United States, including an exemption from taxation, on the public policy positions of an organization is an affront to the spirit and letter of the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.

Neither the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force ( Public Law 107–40 ; 50 U.S.C. 1541 note) against the perpetrators of the 9/11 attack nor the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002 ( Public Law 107–243 ; 50 U.S.C. 1541 note) serve as statutory authorization for the use of military force against Iran. (3) Section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution ( 50 U.S.C. 1544(c) ) states that at any time that United States Armed Forces are engaged in hostilities outside the territory of the United States, its possessions and territories without a declaration of war or specific statutory authorization, such forces shall be removed by the President if the Congress so directs . (4) The United States Armed Forces have been introduced into hostilities, as defined by the War Powers Resolution, against Iran. (5) The question of whether United States forces should be engaged in hostilities against Iran should only be answered following a full briefing to Congress and the American public of the issues at stake, a public debate in Congress, and a congressional vote as contemplated by the Constitution. (6) Section 1013 of the Department of State Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1984 and 1985 ( 50 U.S.C. 1546a ) provides that any joint resolution or bill to require the removal of United States Armed Forces engaged in hostilities without a declaration of war or specific statutory authorization shall be considered in accordance with the expedited procedures of section 601(b) of the International Security and Arms Export Control Act of 1976. 2. Removal of United States Armed Forces engaged in hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran Pursuant to section 1013 of the Department of State Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1984 and 1985 ( 50 U.S.C. 1546a ), and in accordance with the provisions of section 601(b) of the International Security Assistance and Arms Export Control Act of 1976, Congress hereby directs the President to remove United States Armed Forces engaged in hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran or any part of its government or military unless explicitly authorized by a declaration of war or specific authorization for use of military force. 3. Rule of construction Nothing in this resolution shall be construed— (1) to prevent the United States from defending itself from imminent attack; or (2) to direct the physical removal or realignment of United States Armed Forces in the Middle East.
