War Powers Resolution to pull US forces out of hostilities against Iran (Senate blocked the floor vote, March 4, 2026)
Senate Joint Resolution, S.J.Res. 104
What it did
A War Powers resolution directs the President to pull US forces out of hostilities that Congress has not authorized. These resolutions were sitting in the Foreign Relations Committee, so the sponsor moved to put them on the Senate floor. A yes vote would have let the full Senate decide whether to end US involvement in the Iran war.
A no vote kept the question off the floor.
S.J.Res. 104, sponsored by Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) brought the first Senate attempt to end the war after the US and Israel began attacking Iran on February 28, 2026. The Senate kept the question off the floor 47-53 on March 4, 2026.
At the time of this vote, 1,097+ civilians killed in Iran since February 28, 2026, including 181+ children (HRANA count through March 4, 2026).
Result: Rejected 47-53
At the time of this vote: 1,097+ civilians killed in Iran since February 28, 2026, including 181+ children (HRANA count through March 4, 2026)
