BREAKING: House adopts war powers resolution in 224 to 194 vote. The measure aims to limit President Trump’s military actions against Iran
The five-page resolution, sponsored by freshman Rep. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., a former CIA analyst, emphasizes that if the president wants to take the U.S. to war, he or she must get authorization from Congress.
“This is a statement of the Congress of the United States. I will not have that statement diminished by having the president veto it or not,” Pelosi said. At his weekly press conference earlier Thursday, McCarthy said, “This is a meaningless vote that only sends the wrong message that the House Democrats would rather stand with the socialist base than stand against Iran."
