  • S.J.Res.181 – A joint resolution to direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against the Islamic Republic of Iran that have not been authorized by Congress
This joint resolution - introduced by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand [D-NY] on April 13th - directs the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Iran unless a declaration of war or authorization to use military force for such purpose has been enacted. A motion to discharge the joint resolution from the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations was rejected by a Yea-Nay Vote 49-50 on July 30th, which saw three Republican Senators join Democrats in voting for the motion. This vote highlights the ongoing struggle faced by Senate Democrats to curb U.S. military action in the Gulf, although this motion saw more bipartisan support than the previous attempt to force a war powers resolution to the floor for a vote.
