US House Votes To Curb Trump's War Powers Over Iran
The 215-208 vote sends the measure to the Senate, where Trump’s veto power and a possible filibuster make final passage unlikely.
- On Wednesday evening, the United States House of Representatives passed a war powers resolution to curtail President Donald Trump's war on Iran, with the measure passing 215 to 208.
- Four Republicans joined Democrats after GOP leadership delayed the vote for two weeks, breaking party ranks to support the bipartisan measure curtailing Trump's unauthorized war.
- An Economist/YouGov poll published on Tuesday found 68 percent of Americans answered "yes" when asked if the U.S. should end the war, while 60 percent oppose it overall and only 28 percent back the conflict.
- Abdi said the political window for this war is narrowing, noting Americans are angry that representatives prioritized military entanglements that "spike the price of gas and groceries," making lives harder.
- Senate passage remains unlikely due to potential filibusters, and President Trump maintains veto power that could nullify the House's attempt to curtail the unauthorized conflict he started in late February.
