Statement summary
After voting against earlier war powers resolutions, Fitzpatrick voted for H.Con.Res. 86 on June 3, 2026, saying the War Powers Act's 60-day limit legally required bringing the matter to Congress, while also arguing 'the world is a safer place after Iran's nuclear capabilities have been degraded.'
“The law, as it is currently written, requires that the matter now be brought to Congress. That is why I voted in favor of today's resolution. Until my Resolution is passed by Congress, or until the United States Supreme Court rules on the constitutionality of the War Powers Act of 1973, we must abide by the law as it is currently written.”
