War Powers Resolution to remove US forces from hostilities with Iran (May 2026, tied)
House Resolution, H.Con.Res. 75
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. 75, sponsored by Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ), was the third House attempt. A yes vote said the war needed congressional authorization to continue.
A no vote let it continue without one.
It failed on a 212-212 tie on May 14, 2026 (a tie fails in the House). At the time of this vote, HRANA's most recent published count stood at 1,701 civilians killed in Iran, including 254 children, through April 7.
Result: Failed 212-212
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)
