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, HCR88, proposes to direct the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from any ongoing hostilities with Iran. It does this by invoking section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, which allows Congress to take action to end military involvement. The bill would impact the U.S. military and the diplomatic relationship between the U.S. and Iran, potentially leading to a de-escalation of military tensions.
The bill was introduced by Jared Huffman, a Democrat, on April 22, 2026. As of the latest update, it has been submitted to the House and referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. This means it is in the early stages of the legislative process, where it will be reviewed and potentially amended before any further action.
The key action so far has been the introduction and referral of the bill to the relevant committee. Future steps will likely include committee hearings, potential amendments, and a vote in the House. The goal is to guide the President in withdrawing U.S. forces from any active conflict with Iran, aligning with the War Powers Resolution's intent to check presidential military powers.
