Plain Language Summary

# No Invading Allies Act Summary **What the Bill Does:** The No Invading Allies Act would restrict the President's ability to use military force against U.S. ally nations without first obtaining approval from Congress. Specifically, it would require presidential authorization from Congress before initiating offensive military operations against countries that are formal allies of the United States (such as NATO members or other treaty allies). This is intended to prevent unilateral military action against friendly nations without legislative oversight. **Who It Affects:** This bill would affect the President's executive powers regarding military decisions, Congress's role in authorizing military action, and U.S.

ally nations. It could impact any future military conflicts between the U.S. and its formal allies by requiring a congressional vote before such action could proceed. **Current Status:** The bill is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill was sponsored by Representative Seth Magaziner (D-RI).
