The No Invading Allies Act aims to prohibit the President from ordering military operations to invade or seize territory from Canada, Panama, and Greenland without a declaration of war or congressional authorization. This restriction reaffirms the United States' commitment to a rules-based international order, democratic values, and respect for alliances while standing against territorial aggression. The bill outlines exceptions allowing the use of forces in cases of national emergencies created by attacks or imminent threats. Its purpose is to reassert Congress's constitutional authority over the deployment of armed forces while upholding the nation's alliances and partnerships. This legislation seeks to ensure that any potential military action against these allies follows proper legal and constitutional procedures, reinforcing the nation's commitment to international norms and democratic principles.
