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.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): 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.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): 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.”

The promise was procedural: force another House floor vote on a War Powers Resolution when the House returned, not necessarily enact the underlying war-powers policy. Official House records show later 2026 House roll-call votes on Iran War Powers resolutions after Jeffries made the April 9 promise, including a May 14 vote and a June 3 vote on H. Con. Res. 86 that passed 215-208, with Jeffries voting yea. Because the promised additional House vote occurred during the same congressional term, this counts as delivered in same_term timing.

The promise was to force another House vote on the War Powers Resolution when the House returned. Evidence indicates that this did happen: the House held Roll Call 170 on May 14, 2026 on H. Con. Res. 75, a War Powers Resolution concerning Iran. Although the resolution failed, the promised action was to bring about another vote, not to secure passage. Subsequent statements about Republicans canceling later votes show continuing conflict over additional attempts, but they do not negate that another House vote was in fact forced and held during the same term.
