"Congress Divided on US Role in Iran War: House Rejects Resolution to Limit Trump's Military Authority In a move that reflects the ongoing partisan divide in Washington, the House of Representatives has voted down a resolution aimed at limiting President Donald Trump's authority to engage in military action against Iran. The measure, which would have required the president to withdraw US forces from the conflict unless Congress explicitly authorizes military action, was largely opposed by Republican lawmakers who continue to support Trump's operation. The vote marks the latest in a series of failed attempts by Democrats to exert more control over the president's military decisions, and raises questions about the extent to which Congress will be able to rein in Trump's foreign policy agenda. With tensions between the US and Iran remaining high, the debate over America's role in the conflict is likely to continue."
The House rejected a resolution Thursday requiring President Donald Trump to withdraw U.S. forces from the war with Iran unless Congress authorizes military action. It was the latest such vote that fell short of passage as Republicans largely continue to support Trump's operation.
