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.

S.J.Res. 116 is a binding joint resolution that would require the removal of United States Armed Forces from any hostilities within or against Iran that have not been explicitly authorized by Congress. If enacted, this measure would direct the President to withdraw military forces engaged in such unauthorized operations. The resolution reflects concerns about military actions taken without formal congressional approval, as required by the War Powers Resolution and the Constitution.

As a binding joint resolution, this measure would have the force of law if passed and signed by the President. However, the bill currently remains under committee consideration in the Senate. A motion to discharge it from the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations was rejected on March 24, 2026, by a vote of 47 to 53, meaning the measure has not advanced to a full Senate vote. Citizens should note that this bill has not passed and its prospects for enactment remain uncertain.
