House votes to restrict Trump's Iran war powers in latest rebuke over the conflict

House votes to restrict Trump's Iran war powers in the latest rebuke over the conflict reports that the U.S. House voted to halt President Donald Trump’s war powers in Iran unless Congress approves. The measure, introduced by Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal, passed 214 to 208, with four Republicans joining Democrats. The resolution represents a significant rebuke, though it would not automatically force the administration to end the war even if it passed the Senate. The story notes that concurrent resolutions do not go to the president for signature or veto and do not have the force of law. The vote followed escalation after a recent ceasefire ended, marking the second time the House has limited the president’s ability to continue military action, but the first after a U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding collapsed. Democrats have argued such resolutions may still be legally binding, while courts have yet to rule on their effect.
