Force another House vote on the War Powers Resolution when the House returns.

Upon our return, we will force another vote on the House Floor around the War Powers Resolution that will compel the Trump administration to cease military hostilities immediately

Jeffries committed to bringing up another House vote on a War Powers Resolution after the House reconvenes.

Roll Call 170 on 14-May-2026 was on agreeing to H. Con. Res. 75, “Directing the President, pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to remove the United States Armed Forces from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran,” and it failed.

This is the clearest official sign that the House did in fact vote on a War Powers Resolution during the lookback window, but the vote failed rather than delivering the policy outcome. It shows the effort was pursued and reached the floor, but not successfully enacted.

Jeffries said House Republicans “pulled a scheduled vote on a War Powers Resolution” and described Democrats as continuing to press for accountability, indicating the promised follow-up vote was not allowed to proceed as planned.

By May 21, Jeffries was still describing the War Powers Resolution effort as being obstructed and canceled by House Republicans, which supports a conclusion that the promised additional vote was not successfully forced through in the returned House session.

Ranking Member Gregory W. Meeks stated that “House Republicans again voted against an Iran War Powers Resolution,” referring to the May 14 vote and saying, “Next week, Democrats will again force a vote on a War Powers Resolution.”

This confirms the House had already held another War Powers vote by May 14, but it failed. The statement also indicates Democrats intended to keep trying, meaning the commitment was actively pursued but not successfully completed in this window.

Jeffries announced that Democrats would “force another vote on the House floor around the War Powers Resolution” once the House returned, framing it as an upcoming action rather than a completed one.

This is the core promise statement. It shows intent and planned action, but by itself does not establish successful delivery.
