Transparency & AccountabilityU.S. troops would have to leave the fight with Iran — unless Congress votes to allow it.
Transparency & Accountability
The resolution uses the War Powers Resolution to order U.S. forces out of hostilities with Iran. The fighting could keep going only if Congress declares war or passes a law allowing force against Iran.
A federal law lets a war powers measure like this skip the usual committee holdup and reach the Senate floor. Senators get a recorded vote instead of letting it sit.
More about this bill
Your daily costs and paperwork would not change. This resolution is about who decides whether U.S. troops keep fighting Iran. It orders the President to pull American forces out of that fighting. The fighting could go on only if Congress declares war or votes to allow it. The findings say the President ordered air strikes inside Iran on February 28, 2026. Congress never voted on those strikes. Some fighting could still go on. U.S. forces could still defend themselves, along with American staff and bases overseas. They could keep sharing intelligence with Israel and other partners hit by Iran. They could also help those partners defend against Iranian strikes, including by sending weapons for defense. Families with someone deployed in the region would feel this first.
Congressional Summary
This joint resolution directs the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Iran unless a declaration of war or authorization to use military force for such purpose has been enacted. The resolution specifies that it shall not be construed to prevent the United States from defending against an attack on the United States or its personnel or facilities in other nations.
