How the House and Senate voted on Iran war powers in September 2026

In September 2026 the House and Senate each recorded a vote on an Iran war-powers resolution. They were not votes on the same measure. The House agreed to H.Con.Res. 93, 220 to 204, on September 15. On September 24 the Senate did not agree to H.Con.Res. 89, 49 to 50.

H.Con.Res. 89 had already passed the House on July 23, 214 to 208. The September Senate vote was on that resolution. This vote file has no Senate roll call on H.Con.Res. 93.

Two resolutions, one stated direction

Both roll-call titles use the same direction. Each is described as directing the President, pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran. The bill numbers differ. H.Con.Res. 93 is the September 15 House vote. H.Con.Res. 89 is the July 23 House vote and the September 24 Senate vote.

The September 15 question, on Roll 307, September 15, 2026, is “On Agreeing to the Resolution.” The result is Passed, 220 to 204. The September 24 question, on Senate Vote 244, September 24, 2026, is “On the Concurrent Resolution.” The result is Failed, 49 to 50. The July 23 question, on Roll 282, July 23, 2026, is also “On Agreeing to the Resolution,” and the result is Passed, 214 to 208.

What a concurrent resolution requires

These measures are concurrent resolutions, not bills. The Congress.gov legislative glossary describes a concurrent resolution as a measure that must be approved by both the House and the Senate in the same form. It is not presented to the President for a signature the way a bill is, and it does not become a public law by that path. This page does not go beyond that definition. It does not judge whether section 5(c) binds the President. The titles say what the resolutions direct. The roll calls say whether each chamber agreed.

On the record in this vote file, both chambers have not agreed to the same resolution. The House agreed to H.Con.Res. 89 in July, and the Senate did not agree to H.Con.Res. 89 in September. The House agreed to H.Con.Res. 93 in September, and this file has no Senate vote on H.Con.Res. 93. Status beyond these roll calls is on Congress.gov.

What the tallies do not say

The vote file stores chamber totals for these three roll calls. It does not store a party breakdown for the September votes. Member positions on the July House vote are on the page for how each member voted on Roll 282, which is built from the Clerk’s Roll 282. Member positions on Roll 307 and Senate Vote 244 are on the Clerk and Senate pages linked above. This article does not name how any member voted.

An earlier piece on this site, the March article on S.J.Res. 104, covers S.J.Res. 104, a March Senate measure. S.J.Res. 104 is a joint resolution, not H.Con.Res. 89 or H.Con.Res. 93. The tallies on this page are not that vote.

Where to read the record

The on-site timelines are the H.Con.Res. 93 vote timeline and the H.Con.Res. 89 vote timeline. The official texts are H.Con.Res. 93 on Congress.gov and H.Con.Res. 89 on Congress.gov. Each tally above links to the chamber’s own roll call.
