Directing the President pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution to remove United States Armed Forces from unauthorized hostilities in the Islamic Republic of Iran.
This concurrent resolution would direct the President, pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution (50 U.S.C. 1544(c)), to terminate the use of United States Armed Forces in hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran or any part of its government or military, unless explicitly authorized by a declaration of war or a specific authorization for use of military force against Iran. The resolution states that Congress has not declared war or provided specific statutory authorization for such hostilities. It provides that nothing in it prevents the United States from defending against imminent attack, that nothing in it disrupts intelligence, counterintelligence, or investigative activities relating to threats in or from Iran, and that, consistent with section 8(a)(1) of the War Powers Resolution, nothing in it authorizes the use of military force. It did not pass the House (vote 212-219).
Each stop is a step the bill’s own record states, with the date it happened. A ring is a step not yet taken. A bill becomes law when the President signs it or Congress overrides a veto.
At least 12 organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 34 quarterly reports filed by 1 lobbying firm and by 11 organizations lobbying for themselves in 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. An organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.
The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. The form has no per-bill dollar figure and no field for a position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.
5 of them, in no ranking: Moveon.Org Civic Action; American Israel Public Affairs Committee; Friends Committee on National Legislation; Votevets Action Fund, Inc.; J Street. Listed as filed, in the order the filings were read, and 7 others are not shown. These are not the largest, the earliest or the most active: we keep five names per measure, and the filings give no ranking.
From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. Our copy holds 24 fewer filings for 2025 Q1, 39 fewer filings for 2025 Q2, 42 fewer filings for 2025 Q3, 33 fewer filings for 2025 Q4, 28 fewer filings for 2026 Q1, 48 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 and 218 fewer filings for 2026 Q3 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q4 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
