YourVoice.Now Summary
Transparency & AccountabilityTells the President to stop US fighting with Iran — unless Congress votes for it.
Transparency & Accountability
The order covers fighting Iran's government and army, plus ground troops sent in to fight or hold land. The House passed it on July 23, 2026, but the Senate voted it down 49 to 50 on September 24, 2026.
The order to leave would not apply if Congress first backs the fighting. It would have to declare war, or approve force against Iran by name.
More about this bill
Most people would see no change in daily life. This resolution matters most to families with someone serving in or near the Middle East. It tells the President to pull US forces out of fighting against Iran's government or military. That includes sending ground troops in to fight or to occupy. Fighting could go on only if Congress votes for it. That means a declaration of war, or an approval aimed just at Iran. Several limits keep the reach narrow. US forces could still defend themselves, US embassies, and allies from an attack about to happen. Troops could stay in the region to defend. Forces not fighting Iran would not have to leave. Intelligence work on Iran threats, and sharing it with partners, would go on as before. The House passed it on July 23, 2026. The Senate voted it down 49 to 50 on September 24, 2026, so nothing has changed. Concurrent resolutions are not sent to the President to sign. The text also says it approves no use of force.
