Removing US Forces from Hostilities with Iran

Official title: Directing the President, pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran.

What this does

This concurrent resolution would have directed the President to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran. It acts under section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution. The direction does not reach the elements of the Armed Forces needed to defend the United States or an ally or partner from imminent attack, so long as the President complies fully with section 5(b) of the War Powers Resolution for any such use, and it does not apply where the hostilities are explicitly authorized by a declaration of war or a specific authorization for use of military force against Iran. The House rejected it 213 to 214, so it did not take effect and no removal was directed.

Reported lobbying

At least

organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing.

A floor, not a total. Those organizations were counted by the client name on 15 quarterly reports filed by 1 lobbying firm and by 4 organizations lobbying for themselves in 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1 and 2026 Q2. The disclosure form takes a free text description of the issue, so 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 (a filer may describe one in its own words), so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.

Listed as filed. They are every client name on the filings counted here.

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 and 2026 Q2. Our copy holds 2 fewer filings for 2025 Q4 and 7 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q3 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
