Directing the President Pursuant to Section 5(C) of the War Powers Resolution to Remove United States Armed Forces from Hostilities with Iran
The House debated a War Powers resolution directing the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran unless Congress authorizes war, while still allowing troops to defend against imminent attacks. Supporters, including the resolution’s author Representative Jayapal along with Meeks, Moulton, and Crow, said Congress never approved the war, cited American deaths and costs, and called for diplomacy and congressional hearings on the conflict. Opponents, led by Chairman Mast, said Iran had attacked U.S. forces hundreds of times, killing and wounding Americans, argued the military must continue fighting, and asked the resolution’s sponsor which specific units and ships she wanted removed; supporters responded by asking what the war’s strategy and end goal were. Some time was also spent honoring fallen service members and members’ own military service.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
