The House of Representatives on Wednesday adopted a resolution to curb President Donald Trump\u2019s Iran war powers by a vote of 215-208 — delivering a major rebuke to the administration\u2019s handling of the three-month-old conflict<\/a> for the first time.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Four Republicans — Reps. Warren Davidson of Ohio, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Tom Barrett of Michigan and Thomas Massie of Kentucky — joined Democrats to adopt the resolution. The successful bipartisan vote, while largely symbolic, sends a strong message to the administration\u00a0and\u00a0expresses the sentiment of the lower chamber.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The concurrent resolution\u00a0— which would call on Trump to terminate the use of U.S. armed forces in hostilities against Iran or any part of\u00a0its military or government unless a declaration of\u00a0war\u00a0or authorization to use force is enacted\u00a0— now heads to the Senate.\u00a0Even if the Senate follows suit, a concurrent resolution does not carry the weight of law and is not presented to the president or subject to veto.<\/p>\n

\u201cCongress has followed the Constitution today — Democrats and Republicans said enough is enough. It is time to end this war. It is time for the president to tell the American people why we entered this war,\u201d House Foreign Affairs ranking Democrat Gregory Meeks told reporters after the vote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This was the fourth time the House held a vote on a Democrat-led Iran war powers resolution since the start of the war. All previous efforts narrowly failed in the House, including on May 14 when a similar resolution failed in a tie vote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it is a very dangerous prospect to take away from the administration and the commander-in-chief right now the ability to negotiate,\u201d Speaker Mike Johnson said ahead of the vote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Before last week\u2019s Memorial Day recess, GOP leaders abruptly pulled a vote on this resolution over attendance issues — which prompted outrage from Democrats, who were confident the resolution would pass.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A White House official brushed off its passage Wednesday, saying it was \u201cdriven by absences\u201d from Republicans. There were six Republicans absent. Even if all members were present, the vote still would have passed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Trump will continue to protect our national security using his constitutional authority as Commander-in-Chief while being transparent with Congress,\u201d the official added.\u00a0<\/p>\n
