What it does

Concurrent resolution directing removal of U.S. armed forces from hostilities related to Iran absent specific congressional authorization.

Why it matters

War powers votes are the rare floor fights that reassert Article I against unilateral executive force.

Progressive take

If members will not vote, they should not fund forever wars. Force the authorization text into daylight.
