In order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States, the President is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against— al-Qaeda and the Taliban; the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (also known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, the Islamic State, Daesh, ISIS, and ISIL); and associated persons or forces as provided in section 4. Consistent with section 8(a)(1) of the War Powers Resolution ( 50 U.S.C. 1547(a)(1) ), Congress declares that this section is intended to constitute specific statutory authorization within the meaning of section 5(b) of the War Powers Resolution ( 50 U.S.C. 1544(b) ).

Nothing in this joint resolution supersedes any requirements of the War Powers Resolution ( 50 U.S.C. 1541 et seq.).
