Directing the President, pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran.
This bill directs the President to withdraw United States military forces from any hostilities involving Iran. It invokes a specific provision of the War Powers Resolution, allowing Congress to order such a removal. The directive includes an exception, permitting forces to remain if necessary to defend the U.S. or an ally from an imminent attack, but only if the President follows certain reporting procedures and without new explicit congressional authorization for military force against Iran. This action would directly affect the President's authority regarding military deployment and the U.S. Armed Forces currently operating in the region.

MINOR
This is a procedural transition from the House-engrossed version to the enrolled version of HCONRES 86, a concurrent resolution directing the President to remove US Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran under the War Powers Resolution. The substantive policy text is unchanged. The changes reflect that the Senate concurred on June 23, 2026 (the House had passed it on June 3), and both chambers' officers now attest to the enrolled bill.
TIMELINE
The date changed from 'Passed the House of Representatives June 3, 2026' to 'Agreed to June 23, 2026,' indicating the Senate concurred approximately three weeks after the House passed it.
TECHNICAL
Attestation lines changed from only the Clerk of the House to include both the Clerk of the House and the Secretary of the Senate, reflecting that both chambers have now approved the resolution.
