U.S. House Passes Resolution Limiting Trump's Iran War Powers 214-208, With Four GOP Members Defecting

On Thursday (July 23), the U.S. House of Representatives voted 214-208 to pass a resolution limiting President Trump's power to conduct military operations against Iran. Four Republican members—Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Warren Davidson of Ohio, and Tom Barrett of Michigan—voted alongside all Democrats present to secure passage.

This marks the second time the House has rejected Trump's Iran war policy following a similar bipartisan vote on June 3. The resolution, already sent to the Senate, does not require presidential signature and cannot be vetoed, serving primarily as a political statement of House opposition.
