Four Republicans Rebuke Trump as House Passes Iran War Powers Resolution [View all]

Source: Newsweek

The House on Wednesday passed a war powers resolution aimed at curbing President Donald Trump’s military action in Iran, approving the measure 215-208.

The vote, which saw four Republicans—Warren Davidson of Ohio, Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Tom Barrett of Michigan and Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania—join Democrats, marks the first time the chamber has moved to force an end to the conflict without congressional authorization.

Massie wrote on X, "The Iran War Powers Resolution that I cosponsored (opposing the war) just passed the House of Representatives. The People’s House is sending a message: end this war."

The vote comes amid growing unease on Capitol Hill over the Iran war, a military campaign launched earlier this year without congressional approval, highlighting a broader constitutional clash over whether the president or Congress should decide when the United States goes to war.
