Directing the President, pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran.

On May 21, 2026, Rep. Jackson (D-IL) introduced HCONRES105, a concurrent resolution invoking the War Powers Resolution to require withdrawal of U.S. forces from offensive operations against Iran. The bill was referred to the House Foreign Affairs Committee — its first and only action. Reading the ACTUAL bill text is critical: Section 1(b) explicitly preserves the right to self-defense, defensive troop presence, and intelligence sharing. Section 2 further protects all intelligence activities related to Iran. The bill carries NO funding — it is a directive to the President under the War Powers Resolution, not an appropriations or authorization bill. Zero dollars are at play here. The legislative path is long and uncertain. Status is 'referred to committee — early stage' in the 119th Congress (2025-2027). Sponsor Rep. Jackson is a junior Democratic representative, not a committee chair. The bill has no Senate companion — though there are 5+ identical House resolutions (HCONRES87, 88, 101, 102, 104) all at the same procedural stage, indicating coordinated but early-stage messaging rather than imminent action. Concurrent resolutions do not go to the President for signature, making this a statement of congressional sentiment, not binding law. Real market data for defense contractors (provided EDGAR filings) shows $LMT $67.6B revenue / $6.9B net income (10.2% margin), $68.9B / $3.2B (4.6%), $39.3B / $2.1B (5.2%), $42.3B / $3.3B (7.8%), $77.8B / -$2.2B (-2.9%). None of these companies show financial exposure to active Iran combat that would affect their reported revenues. The bill's explicit exceptions for defensive operations protect the primary revenue streams tied to Iran-related military posture (missile defense, regional basing, intelligence). Timeline: No hearings or markups scheduled. Given identical bills at the same stage and no Senate companion, passage probability in the 119th Congress is extremely low. Even if the House passed it, a Senate companion would be needed, and concurrent resolutions do not have the force of law. This is a messaging bill, not a market-moving event.
