House delivers symbolic rebuke to Trump’s Iran war policy
The U.S. House passed a second war powers resolution directing President Trump to withdraw U.S. forces from Iran in a largely party-line 214-208 vote, a largely symbolic rebuke given the administration’s stance on war powers. Democrats argue it’s unconstitutional and highlights the toll of the conflict, while four Republican colleagues joined most Democrats in support. A related effort to compel a lawsuit against the president was floated but faces long odds. The vote comes as renewed fighting raises regional tensions and drives oil prices higher.
