What this bill does
H.Con.Res. 93 invokes the War Powers Resolution to direct the President to withdraw U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities against Iran. The withdrawal requirement would not apply to forces needed to defend the United States or an ally or partner from an imminent attack, provided the President fully complies with the War Powers Resolution's reporting requirements for any such continued use of force. The directive would not apply if Congress has explicitly authorized military action against Iran through a declaration of war or a specific authorization for use of military force.
The resolution primarily affects the President's authority to continue military operations involving Iran without specific congressional authorization, and it concerns U.S. Armed Forces currently engaged in or supporting hostilities related to Iran. As a concurrent resolution invoking the War Powers Resolution, it is a mechanism for Congress to assert its role in decisions about the use of military force, rather than a law requiring the President's signature.
The bill was introduced on April 28, 2026, by Rep. Seth Moulton with several Democratic cosponsors, and referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. It passed the House on September 15, 2026, by a vote of 220–204. It now goes to the Senate for consideration; the Senate would need to agree to the resolution for it to take effect, since War Powers Resolution concurrent resolutions of this kind do not require presidential signature.
