House Votes on Trump's Iran War Powers

Published 5 days, 9 hours ago
Description

House Democrats and Republican Representative Thomas Massie push for a vote on a bipartisan resolution to limit President Trumps power to escalate military action against Iran without Congress approval. The measure, based on the 1973 War Powers Resolution, requires explicit congressional okay before any U.S. forces engage in hostilities. Democrats emphasize the need for full congressional debate to avoid reckless risks to troops, while Republicans argue it ties the presidents hands in a tense situation with Iran. The vote will put every House member on record amid rising Middle East strains, highlighting the ongoing debate over who controls decisions on war.
