CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 114

119th Congress · Session 2 · April 16, 2026

The vote on whether to adopt the resolution

A resolution is one chamber speaking for itself — setting its own rules, taking a position, honouring someone — and it never goes to the President. Agreeing to it is the whole decision.

What was being voted on

119-HCONRES-40 — Directing the President, pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran.

This resolution directs the President to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities against Iran. It relies on section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution to make this happen. The removal does not apply to military elements needed to defend the United States, its allies, or its partners from an imminent attack. To use forces for defense against an imminent attack, the President must fully comply with section 5(b) of the War Powers Resolution.
