This resolution would require the President to withdraw U.S. military forces from any hostilities involving Iran unless Congress has formally declared war or passed a law allowing it. Neither of those steps has happened. The U.S. could still defend American personnel if attacked, share intelligence with countries attacked by Iran since late February 2026, and help those countries intercept Iranian attacks or receive defensive military equipment.
This resolution affects the President and U.S. service members currently involved in any hostilities with or inside Iran. It also touches countries that have been attacked by Iran since late February 2026.
If passed, this resolution would limit the President's ability to use military force against Iran without a vote from Congress. It is based on the constitutional idea that only Congress holds the power to authorize war.
