The vote that we’re taking this afternoon would simply say, ‘President, you must stop immediately what you’re doing.’ ... So, for that reason, the War Powers Act that we’re voting on this afternoon is not the right answer to this.
I will oppose the Iran war powers resolution, S.J.Res.104, because I do not believe requiring the President to stop military action immediately is the right response.
Occurrences
Evidence
The Senate vote was on the motion to discharge S.J.Res.104. The motion was rejected 47-53, and Curtis (R-UT) voted Nay.
S.J.Res.104 directs removal of U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Iran unless Congress explicitly authorizes force.
In the lookback window, Curtis (R-UT) voted Nay on proceeding to S.J.Res.185, another Iran hostilities removal resolution; the motion was rejected 47-50.
Assessments
Curtis promised to oppose S.J.Res.104. As a sitting U.S. Senator, he voted Nay on the March 4, 2026 Senate motion to discharge S.J.Res.104, the specific Iran war powers resolution identified in the promise. That is the promised opposing action, and it occurred during the same federal term context.
