"The War Powers Resolution failed 212 to 212 in a tie, but we are not giving up. In fact, today I filed my own War Powers Resolution, it will take some time to 'ripen,' and then we'll keep pushing." The release says the resolution "reasserts Congress' constitutional authority over decisions to enter war and directs the administration to end unauthorized military involvement in Iran."
Keep pushing to pass a War Powers Resolution that ends unauthorized U.S. military involvement in Iran and reasserts Congress's constitutional authority over war decisions.
Occurrences
Congresswoman Emily Randall (D, WA-06) introduced a War Powers Resolution to end President Trump’s war in Iran and reassert Congress’ constitutional authority to declare war.
Evidence
Vote Result: Motion to Discharge Rejected. Measure Title: A joint resolution to direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against the Islamic Republic of Iran that have not been authorized by Congress.
Jun 18 ... Jun 16 ... S.J.Res. 172 ... Motion to Discharge Rejected.
Assessments
Emily Randall’s stated goal was to push for passage of a War Powers Resolution on Iran. The evidence shows a concrete Senate effort on June 16, 2026, but the motion to discharge failed 47-48 and the related roll-call list through June 18 shows no later successful vote. That means the promised outcome was not delivered in the current term; it reflects a serious but unsuccessful attempt rather than fulfillment.
