House Passes Iran War Powers Resolution 215-208, First Successful Vote Since War Began
June 3, 2026
The House passed a war powers resolution on June 3, 2026, directing President Trump to end military hostilities with Iran — the first time such a measure has cleared either chamber since the conflict began more than three months earlier. The 215-208 vote saw four Republicans cross party lines: Reps. Thomas Massie (KY), Brian Fitzpatrick (PA), Tom Barrett (MI), and Warren Davidson (OH). Every Democrat voted in favor, including Rep. Jared Golden (ME) who had opposed three previous attempts. The resolution is largely symbolic — Senate passage is unlikely and Trump would almost certainly veto it — but it represents a significant bipartisan rebuke of the administration's handling of the war.

“The Iranians would think that the administration's hands are going to be tied if Congress approved a war powers resolution.
“I think that people are frustrated, certainly.
“Tonight, I joined a bipartisan majority of the House in voting to end President Trump's reckless war in Iran.
“I love this country with a soldier's passion. I rise in support of this war powers resolution today because the moral hazard posed by a government no longer constrained by our Constitution is a grave threat.
“Congress has followed the Constitution today — Democrats and Republicans said enough is enough. It is time to end this war. I am thrilled that we've had the opportunity to have some members from the Republican side stand up. I'm really thrilled and proud of my Democratic colleagues, because every Democrat, every single one voted for this.
“We have to follow the law.
“The People's House is sending a message: end this war. People are tired of this.
“It's just a total BS vote, and I think there's no Democrat, no Republican that can tell you what forces they would want pulled from Iran.
“I voted against the War Powers Resolution because it would have limited our servicemembers' ability to defend themselves and dismantle Iranian military capabilities targeting Americans. The President has taken decisive action to neutralize this threat. The mission is clear: degrade Iran's ability to threaten the United States and restore deterrence. Congress should ensure transparency and accountability — but we should not handicap our forces in real time.
