In my opinion it would be a disaster if you could receive compensation for future policy input, act on that input in office, and be immune simply because you were not in office when you received it.
Just prove he did or did not do it instead of whatever this nonsense take is.
Looks like a computer vision fever dream
I do not think it will be effective. This has been done before in exactly the same way and that failed.
USA allows the deployment of forces with the War Powers Resolution of 1973
Limitations require Congress to be notified and that Congress approves an authorized use of force extension beyond 60 days
No President has followed this procedure in the past 23~ active interventions including the 4 wars that the United States has deployed forces in to this day:
Syria Niger Somalia Yemen
I think you are right about the withdrawing though. I found that this is not the first time Congress has put a treaty withdrawal restriction in a defense authorization bill and it has been ignored in the past with Open Skies.
Office of Legal counsel opinion says Congress does not have power outside of the initial agreement and rules within a given treaty.

So even though they put this into a bill, if a future President pushes back against it, they likely will win without much trouble at all.
Congress will declare the state of war which is their constitutional power to do so.

I absolutely hate The Hill simply because they cannot be bothered to take 2 seconds to link to the damn bills they talk about in their articles.
For all I know they could talk about Congress passing a bill ratifying that the color of the sky shall be considered Red and the reader has no idea if it is true or not.
If you watch their hearings and assemblies a lot of Congress appears to be focused on trying to get sound bytes and Tik Tok clips out of what they say. The clips just seem so weird and forced when seen in context of what the topic of discussion is.
We didn’t elect people to be actors on the clock, please make law and talk to the press later.
DoT has seen an explosive increase in budget by 66% since 2019. I am not convinced that a 3% cut to stem the deficit is devastating.
I don’t deny that American transportation and logistics are aging and need reform but this economic and high interest climate doesn’t seem like the best time to go all in.
America lost wars but never surrendered their flags and banners in a total defeat
