Plain-English Summary

The RESTRAIN Act would limit the President's ability to use military force without congressional approval, requiring lawmakers to vote before the armed forces can engage in most military operations abroad. This affects military commanders, defense officials, and ultimately taxpayers who fund military operations, by shifting decision-making power from the executive branch back to Congress as the Constitution originally intended. The bill is currently under review in the House.
