What was being voted on
119-HCONRES-89 — Directing the President, pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran.
This concurrent resolution directs the President to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran, its government, or its military. This includes removing potential ground forces in a combat role or those used for occupation. The removal is required unless Congress explicitly authorizes the action through a declaration of war or a specific authorization for the use of military force. However, the bill does not prevent the U.S. from defending itself, its armed forces, diplomatic facilities, or allies from imminent attack.
