Transparency & AccountabilityWould order U.S. troops out of the fight against Iran — those left to defend get a 60-day limit.
Transparency & Accountability
The 1973 War Powers Resolution lets Congress order troops home from a fight it never voted for. The order would not apply if Congress declares war or passes a law backing force there.
Any troops kept in place to stop an attack still face the War Powers Resolution's 60-day clock. The President must report to Congress, then end the fighting within 60 days, or up to 90 if troop safety requires it.
More about this bill
Most people would see no change in daily life. If you have family in the armed forces, this one matters more. Congress would tell the President to pull U.S. troops out of the fighting against Iran. Only Congress could undo that order, by voting to declare war or to approve force. Some forces could stay. Troops needed to stop an attack on the United States, an ally, or a partner would not have to leave. Those troops come with a time limit. Under the War Powers Resolution, a 1973 law, the President would have to pull them out within 60 days. Congress can vote to allow more time. The House passed this resolution on June 3, 2026. A measure like this one needs both the House and the Senate. It does not go to the President for a signature.
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.)
