House blocks bid to curb presidential war powers on Iran
TL;DR Summary
Democrat-backed House resolution to limit President Trump's power to wage war with Iran failed 213-214; largely symbolic with a veto likely. Republicans mostly opposed, though a few signaled flexibility if the conflict lasts longer. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) was the sole Republican for the measure, Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME) opposed it, and Rep. Warren Davidson (R-OH) voted present. Sponsor Rep. Gregory Meeks plans to push another war-powers bill as Democrats seek greater congressional oversight of military action.
