                               RESOLUTION


 
 Calling for the immediate resignation of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs 
                    of Staff Mark Alexander Milley.

Whereas the Biden administration's withdrawal of United States citizens, United 
        States military personnel, and Afghan allies from Afghanistan has been 
        an abysmal failure;
Whereas the Biden administration's withdrawal from Afghanistan has jeopardized 
        the safety of, and in some cases directly resulted in the death of, 
        United States citizens, United States armed servicemembers, and Afghan 
        civilians;
Whereas the Biden administration's conduct of the withdrawal from Afghanistan 
        has led to international condemnation of the United States, including 
        from our allies;
Whereas the Biden administration's conduct of the withdrawal has diminished the 
        United States standing on the international stage, allowing adversaries 
        such as Russia and China to call into question the United States ability 
        to fulfill its military and defense commitments;
Whereas the Biden administration allowed billions of taxpayer dollars in 
        military equipment to fall into the hands of the Taliban, including 
        small arms, body armor, land vehicles, helicopters, and drones;
Whereas the Biden administration has jeopardized the safety of United States 
        citizens and Afghan allies stranded in Afghanistan by willingly sharing 
        their identities with Taliban officials;
Whereas the actions laid out above constitute a severe dereliction of duty and a 
        failure to fulfill the oaths of office taken by Chairman of the Joint 
        Chiefs of Staff Mark Alexander Milley; and
Whereas these failures have created a permanent rupture of trust between this 
        military chain of command and the American people and our allies: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that 
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Alexander Milley immediately 
resign from office.
