image sourced from original article at The Republican-led House of Representatives narrowly rejected a Democratic-led resolution aimed at limiting President Donald Trump's military actions against Iran. The measure failed in a 212 to 212 vote, falling one vote short of the simple majority required for passage.
This was the third vote this year on a resolution seeking to curb the president's war powers regarding Iran and the first since a 60-day deadline passed for the administration to seek congressional authorization. President Trump previously declared that a ceasefire had ended hostilities.
The margin reflects growing divisions within the chamber, where Republicans hold a slim majority. Similar efforts have also narrowly failed in the Senate, highlighting increasing debate in Congress over the scope of the president's authority to conduct military operations without formal approval.
