House Passes Iran War Powers Resolution After Months of Failed Votes

The House passed H.Con.Res.86 on June 3, 2026, directing President Trump to withdraw U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities in Iran. The vote followed three failed attempts—a March rejection, a May tie at 212-212, and a canceled May vote when Republican leaders anticipated passage. The resolution invokes the 1973 War Powers Resolution's 60-day requirement for congressional authorization. Senate has advanced a parallel measure, setting up a constitutional clash over executive war-making authority.
