Directing the Removal of United States Armed Forces from Hostilities Within or Against the Islamic Republic of Iran That Have Not Been Authorized by Congress--Motion to Discharge
A war powers resolution to direct the President to remove U.S. forces from hostilities against Iran unless Congress authorizes the use of force. Senator Van Hollen moved to discharge the resolution from the Foreign Relations Committee so the Senate could vote on it. Supporters said only Congress can declare war, that the conflict began without congressional approval, and that it endures costs for troops and consumers. Senator Sheehy opposed it, saying Iran has killed Americans for decades and the fight should continue. The motion failed 47-49.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
