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.

Read your own constitution.
He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; ...
Congress, not the President, has the power to declare war.
The Congress shall have Power To... To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;
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.
This is a ridiculously off target response
OK then.
Let's sit down and read the actual amendment instead of taking out of context a section of some news quote which is likeky already out of context by said news before you shortened it.

The user interface in my opinion is pretty bad. It looks like old reddit which wasn't that good. I have to manually expand each post to view it instead of just scrolling through.
Kbin is mostly better. But still a little rough on a few points.
Reddit in desktop mode is better.
Sync in card view mode was the best. Still looking for that experience.
Those newspapers did not sign a legally binding SF312 CLASSIFIED INFORMATION NONDISCLOSURE AGREEMENT of which every single person who holds a clearance must sign.
The very first sentence is:
