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.
What does the HCONRES 75 do?
HCONRES 75 is a House concurrent resolution sponsored by Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ). This concurrent resolution invokes the War Powers Resolution to direct the President to end U.S. military hostilities against Iran within 30 days unless Congress explicitly authorizes them through a declaration of war or a specific authorization for the use of military force. It states that U.S. forces were introduced into hostilities against Iran on February 28, 2026, and includes carve-outs preserving self-defense, a defensive troop presence, and intelligence-sharing. It expresses the will of both chambers and does not change any law.
