Requires the President to get Congress's approval before withdrawing the U.S. from NATO.
This bill would require the President to get Congress's approval before taking the U.S. out of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). If a withdrawal starts, it would automatically stop after 30 days unless Congress votes to approve it. This gives Congress a direct say in major foreign policy decisions.
Currently, there is no clear legal requirement for the President to consult with Congress or get approval before withdrawing the U.S. from a mutual defense treaty like NATO. This means a President could potentially initiate such an action without direct congressional participation. If this bill becomes law, the President would be required to consult with Congress within 72 hours of considering a NATO withdrawal. They would also need to submit a report within 48 hours of starting one. Any withdrawal would automatically end after 30 days unless Congress approves it, or if Congress votes to stop it sooner.
