YVN Summary
\n\nMost people will see no change in daily life. If you have family in the armed forces, this one matters more. Congress has told the President to pull U.S. troops out of the fighting against Iran. Only Congress can undo that order, by voting to declare war or to approve force.\n\nSome forces can stay. Troops needed to stop an attack on the United States, an ally, or a partner do not have to leave. Those troops come with a time limit. Under the War Powers Resolution, a 1973 law, the President has to pull them out within 60 days. Congress can vote to allow more time.\n\nThe House agreed to this on June 3, 2026, and the Senate on June 23, 2026, by a vote of 50 to 48. That completes it. A measure of this kind never goes to the President for a signature, and it does not become law.
