CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

Senate Roll Call 244

119th Congress · Session 2 · September 24, 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-89 — Directing the President, pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran.

This concurrent resolution directs the President to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran, its government, or its military. This includes removing potential ground forces in a combat role or those used for occupation. The removal is required unless Congress explicitly authorizes the action through a declaration of war or a specific authorization for the use of military force. However, the bill does not prevent the U.S. from defending itself, its armed forces, diplomatic facilities, or allies from imminent attack.

The Senate recorded this as
