The document aims to prohibit the Pentagon and the State Department from using funds allocated by Congress to "blockade, occupy, annex, conduct military operations against, or otherwise establish control over the territory of a NATO member state."

The document was initiated by Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen and Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski.
