Get the Facts: What Does War Powers Resolution Do?
The 215-208 vote sends the measure to the Senate as Trump calls it meaningless and says it undercuts his Iran negotiations.
- On Wednesday, The House passed a War Powers resolution by a 215-208 vote, directing President Donald Trump to remove armed forces from hostilities against Iran unless Congress authorizes military force or declares war.
- This vote marks the first House approval of such a measure amid the three-month-old conflict, which began after United States and Israeli strikes targeted Iran's nuclear program and terror infrastructure in late February.
- Four Republican Representatives—Brian Fitzpatrick, Thomas Massie, Tom Barrett, and Warren Davidson—joined Democrats in supporting the resolution, prompting Trump to accuse them of being unpatriotic "GRANDSTANDERS."
- On Thursday, Trump lashed out on Truth Social, calling the vote "meaningless" while claiming it disrupted his "final negotiations to end the War with the Islamic Republic of Iran."
- The resolution now moves to the Republican-controlled Upper House, where prospects remain uncertain; the White House claims the offensive remains within constitutional powers and the measure requires Presidential ratification to enter force.
