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

- The vote to table the resolution included 216 Republicans and 128 Democrats, signaling broad bipartisan resistance even amid rising Middle East tensions and a fragile ceasefire.

- Tabling the resolution effectively ended the impeachment effort on this matter and reflected congressional reluctance to pursue another impeachment battle despite concerns over presidential war powers.
