House torpedoes Rep. Al Green’s effort to impeach Trump over Iran strikes

UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, WASHINGTON, D.C., JUN 24 – A bipartisan majority in the House voted 344-79 to block Rep. Al Green's impeachment resolution accusing Trump of abusing power by bombing Iran without Congress approval.

  • On July 2, 2025, the U.S. House voted 344-79 to reject a resolution introduced by Rep. Al Green that called for impeaching President Trump due to his failure to obtain congressional approval before ordering military attacks on nuclear facilities in Iran.
  • The resolution followed Trump's weekend military strikes in Iran, which critics say bypassed constitutional war powers requiring congressional approval.
  • Supporters framed the measure as a response to an abuse of executive power, while opponents called it hasty and supported tabling to avoid undermining democracy amid Middle East tensions.
  • House Speaker Mike Johnson expressed that now is not the right moment to pursue a War Powers resolution and saw no need for it, mirroring widespread bipartisan opposition which included 128 Democrats voting to table the measure.
  • Tabling the resolution effectively ended the impeachment effort, signaling Congressional reluctance to pursue impeachment over the Iran strikes despite ongoing debates on presidential war authority.
