Bill overview
The PAUSE Act aims to significantly restrict the President’s ability to withdraw the United States from international treaties that have been ratified by the Senate. It requires Congress to approve any such withdrawal, demanding detailed justifications, consultations with other treaty nations, and a strategy to address potential losses resulting from the withdrawal. Specifically, the bill mandates that the Departments of Defense and State provide Congress with extensive information before a withdrawal can be considered, and it applies this requirement to the New START Treaty for an additional five years.
