Evidence

On Apr 16, 2026, the House voted on H. Con. Res. 40, 'Directing the President, pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran.' The roll call failed 213-214. The clerk's vote list shows Rep. Jahana Hayes voted Yea.

Hayes voted in favor of the Iran war powers resolution on the House floor.

Hayes' office said she 'voted in support of H.Con.Res.40' to prohibit further military action against Iran without congressional approval and added, 'Only Congress has the authority to declare war, and I will continue to vote to assert that constitutional authority.'

Hayes publicly reaffirmed her support for congressional war powers authority and opposition to unauthorized military action against Iran.

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.
