About this vote
A motion to discharge takes a measure away from the committee that has it so the full Senate can consider it. S.J.Res. 59 directs the President to stop using U.S. armed forces in hostilities against Iran unless Congress explicitly authorizes it through a declaration of war or a specific authorization for use of military force. The motion was rejected, so the resolution stayed in committee.
