“This is the third resolution Barrett has supported this year”
What the record shows ·
The House Clerk records his votes on six Iran war-powers resolutions in 2026. He voted Nay on the first two: H.Con.Res. 38 on March 5, which failed 212 to 219 (Roll Call 85), and H.Con.Res. 40 on April 16, which failed 213 to 214 (Roll Call 114). He voted Yea on the next four: H.Con.Res. 75 on May 14, which failed 212 to 212 (Roll Call 170); H.Con.Res. 86 on June 3, agreed to 215 to 208 (Roll Call 199); H.Con.Res. 89 on July 23, agreed to 214 to 208 (Roll Call 282); and H.Con.Res. 93 on September 15, agreed to 220 to 204 (Roll Call 307). The Senate agreed to H.Con.Res. 86, 50 to 48, and rejected H.Con.Res. 89, 49 to 50. In May he also introduced H.J.Res. 176, an authorization for force against Iran; it sits in committee.
Limit: His count of three was right in July, and he voted yes a fourth time in September. He voted no on the first two, in March and April. His office's June release says he votes yes because the president's time-limited authority under the War Powers Act has expired.
