The Republican-controlled U.S. House voted 215-208 to pass a resolution
restricting President Trump’s ability to use military force against Iran; four
House Republicans joined all Democrats in supporting the measure, signaling
dissent within Trump’s party. The resolution directs withdrawal of U.S. forces
engaged in hostilities with Iran unless Congress declares war or authorizes use
of military force. The measure is largely symbolic: it cannot compel the
president to end operations, must clear the Republican-controlled Senate, and
could be vetted by Trump.
