## Resource

In recent years, the tug-of-war over military power between Congress and the President has been impossible to ignore, especially as it relates to situations in Lebanon and broader conflicts in the Middle East. On June 4, 2026, we saw a clear example of this tension when Representative Rashida Tlaib introduced a war powers resolution calling for the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Lebanon. Despite her efforts, this resolution faced a significant backlash, ultimately being defeated with 92 votes in favor and a striking 324 votes against. This outcome shows us just how divided Congress is when it comes to military engagement in the region.
