Latest legislative activity: Jun 24, 2026

Summary

This concurrent resolution, introduced in the House of Representatives, aims to direct the President to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran. It specifically invokes section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, which allows Congress to direct the President to remove forces engaged in hostilities without a declaration of war or specific statutory authorization.

The resolution includes a crucial exception, permitting the continued presence of forces necessary to defend the United States or an ally or partner from imminent attack. However, this exception is contingent upon the President fully complying with the reporting requirements of section 5(b) of the War Powers Resolution. Ultimately, the directive to remove forces would only be superseded by an explicit declaration of war or a specific congressional authorization for the use of military force against Iran.
