US EditionHouse Votes Down Proposal to Limit Trump's War Powers
The resolution aims to reaffirm Congress's constitutional war-declaring authority by requiring Trump to obtain approval for continued military operations against Iran, backed mainly by Democrats.
- On Thursday, the U.S. House of Representatives will vote on a war powers resolution to limit President Donald Trump's authority after the Senate failed Wednesday; the chamber returns at 10 a.m. ET with live coverage available.
- The bipartisan sponsors — Massie and Khanna — framed the measure as constitutional oversight, with Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., introducing it in June alongside Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif.
- Several House members show mixed positions, with supporters like Rep. Warren Davidson and some Democrats opposing, including Jared Moskowitz and Josh Gottheimer, amid the recent vote tally of 212 to 219, with Fetterman joining Republicans.
- The measure is expected to fail in the Republican-controlled House, and even if passed, President Trump would likely veto it, requiring a two-thirds override.
- With March 5 on the Senate schedule, lawmakers seek alternative oversight tools amid a partial government shutdown and DHS funding votes, and the war powers debate continues.
