Directing the President, pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran.
This bill, HCR86, aims to direct the President to withdraw U.S. Armed Forces from any ongoing hostilities with Iran. It utilizes section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution to mandate this action. The bill was introduced by several sponsors, including Democrats and Republicans, on April 20, 2026, and has since moved through various stages in Congress.
The bill would impact the U.S. military and the American public by potentially ending military involvement in conflicts with Iran. It could also affect diplomatic relations and the overall geopolitical landscape. The bill has passed the House and is currently in the Senate, where it was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations.
As of June 24, 2026, the Senate has passed the resolution without amendment. The House has already agreed to the resolution by a vote of 215-208. The bill's next step involves the Senate finalizing its action and potentially sending a message to the House.
