Bill overview
This bill, the Military Humanitarian Operations Act of 2019, requires the President to seek congressional approval before deploying U.S. military forces for operations aimed at preventing or responding to humanitarian crises or threats to international peace and security. It defines ‘military humanitarian operation’ and outlines specific activities that would not be considered such operations. The bill ensures congressional oversight and authorization for these deployments, preventing unilateral action by the President. It also clarifies the types of situations where military action is permissible.
