House Republicans break ranks to rein in Iran war powers in 220-204 vote

Seven House Republicans joined Democrats to pass a War Powers Resolution aimed at restraining the president’s authority to engage in Iran-related hostilities, in a 220-204 vote. Supporters argue Congress must declare war and note the 60-day window under the 1973 War Powers Resolution has lapsed; opponents contend the president needs flexibility to protect U.S. forces and national security.
