US Congress Passes War Powers Resolution Limiting Trump's Military Action Against Iran
The US House of Representatives passed a resolution on Wednesday that would limit US President Donald Trump's power to make war against Iran. The House passed a nonbinding version earlier this year, but the Senate passed a more powerful version, which the House has now also approved of.
The resolution passed the House on Wednesday with a vote of 227 for and 186 against and will now proceed to the White House, where Trump is expected to veto it.
"If President Trump is serious about his promise to stop endless wars, he will sign this resolution into law," Virginia Democratic Senator Tim Kaine, who sponsored the resolution, said Wednesday following the House vote.
"We can't allow another war of choice in the Middle East," Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA), wrote on Twitter. "Make no mistake: Trump’s continued and reckless military actions, without Congressional approval or authorization, caused this crisis."
