Gottheimer's H.Con.Res. 75 has exclusive floor access via unanimous consent, but Mast's 92-day failure to call it up is the binding constraint—discharge or leadership intervention required to unlock.

Let's count what actually moves. H.Con.Res. 75 is the only Iran War Powers resolution with floor access—Gottheimer secured a unanimous consent agreement on April 27 that the resolution be 'in order at any time' if called up by Foreign Affairs Chair Mast or his designee, with one hour of debate split between Mast and Ranking Member Meeks. That's a procedural commit, but it's conditional on Mast pulling the trigger. The other nine Iran resolutions? All referred to Foreign Affairs, no recorded action since April. Moulton's H.Con.Res. 93 has 11 cosponsors—the largest coalition—but cosponsors don't bypass committee. The vote math if this reaches floor: concurrent resolutions under War Powers section 5(c) are not subject to Senate filibuster in the same way as legislation, but they require both chambers. The House vote would be the first test. I'm modeling this at 35-45% probability of floor consideration in the next 14 days, contingent on whether Mast faces enough pressure from his own members—or enough cover from leadership—to call it up without a discharge petition. The unanimous consent agreement means no rule needed, no suspension calendar fight. But Mast has not acted since April 27. That's 92 days of silence. Either he's holding it as leverage over the administration, or he's waiting for the 'pause' to collapse and provide political cover. The 11-cosponsor Moulton resolution is the discharge threat lurking in background; 218 signatures takes time but signals intensity.
