Hayes did what the promise described: she voted in favor of H.Con.Res. 40 to assert Congress's war powers over Iran and publicly said she would continue to do so. The resolution itself failed, but the commitment was about her ongoing vote and position, not passage of the measure, so the promise was fulfilled in the same term.
