A concurrent resolution is how the House and the Senate settle something they do together, such as a budget plan or a joint session. It is adopted once both chambers agree to it, and that puts it into effect; it is not a law, so it does not go to the President.
What this bill would do
This resolution directs the President to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran. It is introduced pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution. The text allows for elements of the Armed Forces to remain if they are necessary to defend the United States, its allies, or its partners from imminent attack, provided the President complies with section 5(b) of the War Powers Resolution. It requires that any ongoing or further hostilities be explicitly authorized by a declaration of war or a specific congressional authorization. Representatives Walkinshaw, McClellan, Beyer, Subramanyam, Scott of Virginia, Vindman, Williams of Georgia, Thanedar, and Liccardo submitted the resolution on June 11, 2026. The measure was subsequently referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs.

Who it would affect, and how
Potential Positive Impacts for People
-
Directs the removal of troops from hostilities: The resolution directs the President to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran. This could be considered a positive outcome because it seeks to de-escalate military conflict, as outlined in the main resolving paragraph.
-
Preserves necessary self-defense: The text allows for elements of the Armed Forces to remain if they are necessary to defend the United States or an ally or partner from imminent attack. This provision ensures that national and allied safety is maintained while troops are being removed, as mentioned in the main resolving paragraph.
-
Enforces congressional oversight: The resolution requires an explicit declaration of war or specific congressional authorization for military force against Iran. This holds elected officials accountable by ensuring that Congress must formally approve military actions, according to the main resolving paragraph.
Potential Negative Impacts for People
- Limits immediate defense capabilities: The resolution restricts the presence of United States Armed Forces to only those elements necessary to defend the United States or an ally from imminent attack. This could be viewed as a burden or negative consequence if restricted forces are unable to respond broadly to fast-moving threats, as noted in the main resolving paragraph.
