War Powers Resolution to pull US forces out of hostilities against Iran (Senate agreed, June 23 2026)
House Resolution, H.Con.Res. 86
What it did
The Senate took up H.Con.Res. 86, a resolution ordering the President to withdraw US forces from the Iran war. This was the first time the Senate itself cleared any War Powers resolution on this war, after months of blocking identical resolutions at the committee stage. A yes vote said the war needs congressional authorization.
A no vote let it go on without one.
The Senate agreed to it 50-48 on June 23, 2026.
The White House was expected to reject it. Many of the yes votes here had voted in earlier bills to fund the weapons that made this war possible, and this one late vote does not change the earlier record.
Result: Agreed to 50-48
At the time of this vote: Iran war still active; ~3,400+ killed to date; US military entanglement deepening; children in Gaza still bombed daily
The humane vote: Yes (YEA)
