More about this bill
If someone in your family serves in the military, this one is about them. It would order the President to pull U.S. forces out of the fighting with Iran. The war could only go on if Congress votes to allow it. That vote would have to be a declaration of war or a direct approval to use force. For most other people, daily life would not change. Some military work would keep going. U.S. troops could still defend themselves and American sites overseas. The military could still share intelligence with countries Iran has attacked since February 28, 2026. It could still help those countries stop incoming attacks. It could also help Americans get out of harm's way. The findings count 13 U.S. service members killed and 380 wounded as of April 8, 2026. The Senate voted 47 to 49 on July 23, 2026, against pulling it out of committee.
Congressional Summary
