US House of Representatives passes legislations seeking to rein in President Trump's ability to deploy US forces to fight abroad
US President Donald Trump delivers remarks during a campaign stop at Dana Incorporated in Warren, Michigan, US, on January 30, 2020.
The Democratic-led House voted nearly along party lines to pass one measure that would prohibit military action against Iran without congressional approval. It also voted to repeal the 2002 Authorization for the use of Military Force for the war in Iraq, which presidents have long used to justify a range of military actions.
The vote for the first measure was 228 to 175, as four of Trump's fellow Republicans joined Democrats in backing the bill and three Democrats joined most Republicans in voting no.The future of the legislation was uncertain in the Republican-led Senate, where an effort to pass an Iran-related war powers resolution has been stalled during Trump's impeachment trial.
