(2) Any transnational criminal organizations designated as Foreign Terrorist Organizations or Specially Designated Global Terrorists since February 20, 2025. Unless explicitly authorized by a declaration of war or specific authorization for use of military force after the date of the adoption of this concurrent resolution. (b) Rule of construction Nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent the United States from repelling sudden attacks or engaging in self-defense consistent with the legal requirements outlined in section 2(c) of the War Powers Resolution (50 U.S.C. 1541(c)). The trafficking of illegal drugs does not itself constitute such an armed attack or threat of an imminent armed attack under section 2(c)(3) of the War Powers Resolution (50 U.S.C. 1541(c)(3)).
