On the Motion to Discharge
The Senate rejected a motion to discharge S.J.Res. 180 from committee on a party-line vote, stalling the measure to remove forces from Iran.
The Senate rejected a motion to discharge S.J.Res. 180 from the Committee on Foreign Relations, a procedural step intended to force the measure onto the floor for consideration. The joint resolution, which directs the removal of U.S. Armed Forces from unauthorized hostilities against Iran, remains in committee following the failed vote. The motion was defeated on a party-line vote.
The rejection of the motion to discharge on a party-line vote prevents S.J.Res. 180 from being forced out of the Committee on Foreign Relations for floor consideration. The joint resolution remains in committee, and the Senate cannot proceed to a final vote on the measure at this time. Further action on the resolution depends on whether the committee chooses to report it or if another procedural motion is made.
