A bill to amend and improve the War Powers Resolution.

Requires the President, under the War Powers Resolution, before taking any steps which would firmly commit United States Armed Forces to hostilities, to in every possible instance discuss fully the proposed decision for using such Armed Forces with Members of Congress, including but not limited to the majority and minority leaders of the Senate and the House of representatives, the chairmen of the Armed Services and Foreign Relations Committees of the Senate, and the chairmen of the Armed Services and International Relations Committees of the House of Representatives and to fully consider their advice and counsel before committing the United States Armed Forces to any such proposed decision.

Provides that any person employed by, under contract to, or under the direction of any department or agency of the United States Government who is either (1) actively engaged in hostilities in any foreign country; or (2) advising any regular or irregular military forces engaged in hostilities in any foreign country shall be deemed to be a member of the Armed Forces of the United States for the purposes of such Resolution.
