YourVoice.Now Summary
Directs U.S. troop withdrawal from hostilities with Iran unless Congress declares war, exempting defense against imminent attack.
The details
This resolution would direct the President to withdraw U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran, using authority under the War Powers Resolution that lets Congress order troop pullbacks from military conflicts it hasn't specifically approved. It allows an exception for forces needed to defend the United States or an ally from an imminent attack, provided the President meets existing reporting requirements to Congress. The withdrawal requirement would not apply if Congress passes a declaration of war or a specific authorization for military force against Iran. It is nearly identical to two other resolutions introduced earlier in 2026 by different members of Congress, and it does not itself authorize any use of force.
Congressional Summary
This concurrent resolution directs the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities against Iran unless explicitly authorized by a declaration of war or a congressional authorization for use of military force against Iran.Elements of the U.S. Armed Forces needed to defend the United States, an ally, or a partner from imminent attack are not covered by this requirement provided the President complies with a specified provision of the War Powers Resolution. (The provision generally requires the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities no more than 60 days after the President notifies or is required to notify Congress of such involvement, unless Congress authorizes such use. For more information on the War Powers Resolution, see CRS In Focus 13134.)
