The President can negotiate agreements giving the UN Security Council access to U.S. troops. Congress must approve these agreements by law or joint resolution before they take effect. The President cannot send extra forces beyond what these approved agreements allow.

The President can negotiate one or more special agreements with the Security Council. Congress must approve each agreement, by an appropriate Act or joint resolution, before it counts. These agreements set the numbers and types of armed forces, how ready they are and generally where based, and what facilities and assistance — including rights of passage — will be made available to the Security Council on its call, to help maintain international peace and security under Article 43 of the UN Charter. The President doesn't need separate congressional authorization to actually provide the Security Council, on its call, with the armed forces, facilities, or assistance an approved special agreement already covers, in order to act under Article 42 of the Charter. But — except as section 287d–1 allows — nothing here authorizes the President to give the Security Council armed forces, facilities, or assistance beyond what those special agreements provide for.

The President is authorized to negotiate a special agreement or agreements with the Security Council which shall be subject to the approval of the Congress by appropriate Act or joint resolution, providing for the numbers and types of armed forces, their degree of readiness and general location, and the nature of facilities and assistance, including rights of passage, to be made available to the Security Council on its call for the purpose of maintaining international peace and security in accordance with article 43 of said Charter. The President shall not be deemed to require the authorization of the Congress to make available to the Security Council on its call in order to take action under article 42 of said Charter and pursuant to such special agreement or agreements the armed forces, facilities, or assistance provided for therein: Provided, That, except as authorized in section 287d–1 of this title, nothing herein contained shall be construed as an authorization to the President by the Congress to make available to the Security Council for such purpose armed forces, facilities, or assistance in addition to the forces, facilities, and assistance provided for in such special agreement or agreements.
