US House Passes Resolution to Limit Trump’s Iran War Powers

The US House voted 214 to 208 to block President Trump from continuing military action in Iran without congressional approval. Four Republicans joined Democrats to back the nonbinding resolution. A similar measure in the Senate failed by a 47–49 vote, despite crossover support from Senators Susan Collins and John Fetterman. Concurrent resolutions carry political weight but no legal force, since they bypass presidential signature. Lawmakers debated the move amid rising conflict after a ceasefire collapse. Advocates argue this check on presidential war powers reflects growing bipartisan concern and sends a message ahead of key elections.
