Sen. Coons Pushes to End Unauthorized War in Iran as Legal Deadline Looms
This bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process after being sent to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations for review. No further actions are scheduled at this time, and the bill is not moving forward. There is no companion bill listed for this resolution.
This resolution is led by Democrats and faces a certain veto from Trump. It is unlikely to get the two-thirds majority needed in both the House and Senate to become law over his objection.
The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has caused energy shortages and global economic disruption that directly hits small businesses through higher fuel costs and supply chain problems. If the resolution led to a de-escalation and reopening of shipping lanes, small businesses could see relief.
