House for the first time passes resolution to halt military action against Iran in rebuke of Trump's war
The 215-208 vote sends a symbolic rebuke to Trump and puts pressure on the Senate after four Republicans joined Democrats.
- On Wednesday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a war powers resolution 215-208, directing President Donald Trump to remove armed forces from hostilities with Iran. Four Republicans joined Democrats in the historic vote.
- The conflict, initiated February 28, 2026, has reached its 100th day, fueling voter concerns about inflation and energy prices. Lawmakers cited the lack of congressional authorization and mounting war costs as drivers of bipartisan unease.
- Representatives Tom Barrett of Michigan, Warren Davidson of Ohio, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, and Thomas Massie of Kentucky broke ranks to support the measure. House Foreign Affairs Committee Ranking Member Greg Meeks, who introduced the resolution, called its passage a 'significant bipartisan rebuke.'
- The resolution now proceeds to the Senate, which advanced a similar measure last month; however, it faces an all-but-certain veto from Trump. The measure currently lacks the two-thirds support needed to override.
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned that congressional action could undermine diplomatic leverage, suggesting the administration's hands would be tied during negotiations. The conflict continues disrupting commerce through the Strait of Hormuz, driving global energy instability.
