Transparency & AccountabilityBoth chambers have voted to 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 will see no change in daily life. If you have family in the armed forces, this one matters more. Congress has told the President to pull U.S. troops out of the fighting against Iran. Only Congress can undo that order, by voting to declare war or to approve force. Some forces can stay. Troops needed to stop an attack on the United States, an ally, or a partner do not have to leave. Those troops come with a time limit. Under the War Powers Resolution, a 1973 law, the President has to pull them out within 60 days. Congress can vote to allow more time. The House agreed to this on June 3, 2026, and the Senate on June 23, 2026, by a vote of 50 to 48. That completes it. A measure of this kind never goes to the President for a signature, and it does not become law.
