Evidence

The House took up H.Con.Res. 38, the concurrent resolution directing the President to remove United States Armed Forces from unauthorized hostilities in Iran; the record shows the resolution was the subject of floor proceedings and eventual vote on March 5, 2026.
House debate on H.Con.Res. 38 notes that a member “will vote for the upcoming War Powers Resolution,” and the text of H.Con.Res. 38 directs the President to terminate the use of U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities against Iran unless authorized by Congress.
Official title page identifies the measure as a concurrent resolution directing the President to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran; its tracker status is Introduced.

“Today, ahead of the House vote on the Iran War Powers Resolution, Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi delivered remarks on the House Floor denouncing President Trump for bypassing Congress ...”
The record includes House consideration of a concurrent resolution to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities against Iran under the War Powers Resolution.
The Statement of Administration Policy addresses H.Con.Res. 38 and argues against the resolution, confirming a live legislative contest over the war powers measure Pelosi supported.
Pelosi’s March 5 floor remarks say she was speaking ahead of the House vote on the Iran war powers resolution and urged colleagues to vote in support of the Constitution.
Pelosi's March 5, 2026 House press release says she spoke ahead of the Iran war powers vote and urged colleagues to support the Constitution, making affirmative support for the resolution explicit.

Assessments
The promise was to support an Iran war powers resolution, not to ensure final enactment. In her capacity as a U.S. Representative, Pelosi publicly urged colleagues to back the House Iran war powers resolution before the March 5, 2026 vote and continued defending that effort afterward, which is direct evidence she carried out the promised action during the same term.
The promise was to support an Iran war powers resolution, not necessarily to enact it. Evidence shows Pelosi publicly endorsed the House Iran war powers resolution and urged colleagues to vote for it ahead of the March 5, 2026 House vote on H.Con.Res. 38, which directed the President to remove U.S. forces from unauthorized hostilities with Iran. Because her promised action was affirmative support and she carried that out while in office during the same congressional term, this counts as delivered in the same term.
Pelosi publicly and affirmatively supported the specific Iran War Powers Resolution in House floor remarks ahead of the March 5, 2026 vote, urging colleagues to vote in support of the Constitution. The evidence shows she materially advanced the exact resolution during the same congressional term, so the promise to support it was fulfilled even though the broader policy outcome depended on the chamber vote.
The promise was to support a specific resolution directing the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran. The evidence shows Pelosi publicly urged support for the Iran War Powers Resolution, delivered floor remarks ahead of the House vote, and the House officially considered and voted on H.Con.Res. 38 on March 5, 2026. Because the commitment was to support the resolution—not necessarily to secure final enactment or policy implementation—her public advocacy and participation in the floor vote satisfy the promise in the same term.
