Occurrences
Evidence
Golden said he would vote in favor of a clean war powers resolution, and separately said he would oppose H.Con.Res.75, which would have reduced the congressional authorization deadline from 60 days to 30 days.
The House Clerk records H.Con.Res.75 as failed on May 14, 2026, and lists Jared Golden (ME) as voting Nay.
Golden's office said he would oppose H.Con.Res.75, a separate resolution offered by Rep. Josh Gottheimer that would have reduced the congressional authorization deadline from 60 days to 30 days.
The House Clerk lists Roll Call 170 on H.Con.Res.75, records the resolution as failed, and lists Golden (ME) as voting Nay.
Assessments
Golden promised to vote against the separate war powers resolution shortening the congressional authorization deadline to 30 days. His office announced on May 13, 2026 that he would oppose H.Con.Res.75, and the House Clerk's May 14, 2026 roll call records Golden voting Nay on H.Con.Res.75, which failed. This directly fulfills the vote-specific promise during the same federal term.
Golden publicly said he would oppose H.Con.Res.75, the separate war powers resolution that shortened the authorization deadline to 30 days, and the House Clerk’s roll call shows he voted Nay on May 14, 2026. That directly fulfills the claim.
Golden promised to vote against the separate war powers resolution that would shorten the congressional authorization deadline to 30 days. The provided official roll-call evidence says H.Con.Res.75 failed on May 14, 2026 and that Golden voted Nay, directly matching the promised action while he was serving in the same federal House term. Because the promise was about his vote, not final enactment of a broader policy, the Nay vote fulfills it.
