House Democrats Seek Iran War Powers Vote During Pro Forma Session
House Democrats say the resolution would require congressional approval before any further strikes on Iran, but one Republican objection can block it.
- House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries announced that House Democrats will attempt to force a vote on a War Powers Resolution during a pro forma session, seeking unanimous consent to limit President Donald Trump's authority regarding Iran.
- Jeffries labeled the current two-week ceasefire 'woefully insufficient' amid rising tensions over the Strait of Hormuz, citing Trump's threat to eradicate a 'whole civilization' if Iran failed to reopen the vital waterway.
- A single Republican objection can instantly kill the resolution introduced by Ranking Member Greg Meeks, which mandates congressional authorization for ongoing military involvement in the conflict.
- Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer announced Wednesday that the upper chamber will vote on a war powers resolution when Congress returns next week, while Representative Jamie Raskin scheduled a Friday briefing on the 25th Amendment.
- More than 80 Democratic lawmakers are urging the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office, while Schumer argued that 'Congress must reassert its authority' to prevent any president from waging war alone.
