War Powers Resolution to remove US forces from hostilities with Iran (April 2026, failed by one vote)

House Resolution, H.Con.Res. 40

What it did

A War Powers resolution under section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution of 1973 directs the President to remove United States forces from hostilities that Congress has not authorized. The United States and Israel began attacking Iran on February 28, 2026, and on the first day a girls' elementary school in Minab was hit, killing 156 people including 120 schoolchildren (National Iranian American Council, citing local reporting).

H.Con.Res. 40, sponsored by Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY), was the second House attempt of 2026 to force a withdrawal. A yes vote said the war needed congressional authorization to continue.

A no vote let it continue without one.

It failed 213-214 on April 16, 2026, with Democrats 212-1 (Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME) the lone no) and Republicans 212-1 (Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) the lone yes). At the time of this vote, HRANA had counted at least 1,701 civilians killed in Iran, including at least 254 children.

Result: Failed 213-214-1

At the time of this vote: 1,701+ civilians killed in Iran since February 28, 2026, including 254+ children (HRANA count through April 7, 2026)

The humane vote: Yes (YEA)
