The last time the United States voted on whether or not to formally declare war was against Yugoslavia in 1999.

It was House Joint Resolution (H.J.Res.) 44, introduced by Tom Campbell, a Republican representing California's 15th district, primarily to get congress on record either supporting or opposing Operation Noble Anvil to cement the fact President Bill Clinton was violating the 1973 War Powers Resolution (WPR) by waging it.

It was rejected 427 nays to 2 yaes. The yae votes were Gene Taylor, a Democrat representing Mississippi's 5th district, and Joe Barton, a Republican representing Texas' 6th district.
Taylor's reason for voting was to either "do it right, or do not do it at all." His speech is available here at 7:56:27 https://www.c-span.org/program/house-proceeding/house-session/134470
I can't find Barton's reason.

Not only did President Clinton initiate the war without congressional approval, but continued the campaign 18 days past the 60 day maximum afforded by the WPR. Congress could have taken it to the Supreme Court, but chose not to.
