Directing the President, Pursuant to Section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to Remove United States Armed Forces from Hostilities with Iran

This was a War Powers Resolution directing the President to remove U.S. armed forces from hostilities with Iran. Democratic senators including Kim, Schiff, Klobuchar, Murphy, Baldwin, Welch, and Kaine argued the President began the war without congressional approval, that it had lasted over six months, cost billions of dollars, killed around 18 or 19 U.S. servicemembers, strained the military, and driven up fuel and other prices, and they urged the Senate to pass the resolution to bring troops home. Much of the floor time was spent on unrelated matters, including a bipartisan connected-vehicle security bill, a resolution on Chinese government intimidation abroad, the farm bill, artificial intelligence safety legislation, and tributes to departing chiefs of staff. The resolution was rejected by a vote of 49 to 50.Written by AI from the debate. Updated 2026-10-17.
