Passed House Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.

Summary

This concurrent resolution directs the President to withdraw US Armed Forces from hostilities against Iran within 30 days of February 28, 2026, unless Congress explicitly declares war or authorizes military action against Iran. The resolution invokes the War Powers Resolution, which requires congressional authorization for military hostilities. The resolution includes exceptions allowing the United States to defend itself, its armed forces, diplomatic facilities, and allied nations from imminent attack, and permits maintaining a defensive military presence in the region. The resolution also preserves intelligence and counterintelligence activities related to Iran threats. The resolution clarifies that it does not itself authorize military force, but rather directs withdrawal absent explicit congressional authorization.

Mr. Gottheimer (for himself, Mr. Landsman, Mr. Cuellar, Mr. Golden of Maine, Mr. Costa, Mr. Panetta, Mr. Vicente Gonzalez of Texas, Mr. Suozzi, and Mr. Gray) submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

Directing the President, pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to remove the United States Armed Forces from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring),

SECTION 1. FINDINGS.

Congress finds the following:

(1) The Islamic Republic of Iran is the leading state sponsor of terrorism and an adversary of the United States.

(2) The Islamic Republic of Iran seeks to pose a threat to the United States, its Armed Forces, and allies through its ballistic missile program, its sponsorship of terrorist proxy forces, and pursuit of a nuclear weapon.

(3) The Islamic Republic of Iran engages in a range of destabilizing activities across the Middle East and the world which have resulted in scores of American deaths since 1979.

(4) Congress has the sole power to declare war under article I, section 8 of the Constitution.

(5) Congress has not declared war with respect to, or provided any specific statutory authorization for, hostilities involving United States Armed Forces against the Islamic Republic of Iran.

(6) United States Armed Forces were introduced into hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran on February 28, 2026.

(7) The President is mandated to brief Congress on the deployment of United States forces, included their estimated scope and duration of their continued use, under the War Powers Resolution.

SEC. 2. TERMINATION OF USE OF FORCE.

(a) Termination.—Pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution (50 U.S.C. 1544(c)), Congress hereby directs the President to remove the use of United States Armed Forces from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran or any part of its government or military, including potential ground forces in a combat role or used for occupation, by not later than the date that is 30 days after the date described in section 1(6), unless explicitly authorized by a declaration of war or specific authorization for use of military force against Iran.

(b) Rule of Construction.—Nothing in this section may be construed to—

(1) prevent the United States from defending itself, its Armed Forces, its diplomatic facilities, or allied states from imminent attack;

(2) prevent the United States Armed Forces from maintaining a troop presence in the region for defensive purposes; or

(3) force the removal of United States Armed Forces in the region who are not engaged in hostilities against Iran.

SEC. 3. RULE OF CONSTRUCTION RELATING TO INTELLIGENCE SHARING.

Nothing in this resolution may be construed to influence or disrupt any intelligence, counterintelligence, or investigative activities relating to threats in or emanating from Iran or surrounding countries conducted by, or in conjunction with, the United States Government involving—

(1) the collection of intelligence;

(2) the analysis of intelligence; or

(3) the sharing of intelligence between the United States and any coalition partner, if the President determines such sharing is appropriate and in the national security interests of the United States.

SEC. 4. RULE OF CONSTRUCTION RELATING TO NONAUTHORIZATION OF THE USE OF MILITARY FORCE.

Consistent with section 8(a)(1) of the War Powers Resolution (50 U.S.C. 1547(a)(1)), nothing in this concurrent resolution may be construed as authorizing the use of military force. <all>
