The measure calls for Trump to stop military force against Iran within 30 days if he does not have congressional approval.
The vote to rein in Trump's latitude to clash with Iran continues a recent push by Democrats and some Republicans in Congress to reassert the legislature's authority to declare war. The measure introduced by Rep. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., is a concurrent resolution — meaning the president cannot veto it and it does not carry the force of law.
Even so, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told reporters Thursday that it has "real teeth" to check the president. Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., has put forward a similar resolution, which may not pass the Republican-held Senate. "We must keep the American people safe," Pelosi said on the House floor ahead of the vote. "The House will pass a war powers resolution to limit the president's military actions regarding Iran. Congress is reassuring our long-established oversight responsibilities as we mandate that if no further congressional action is taken, the administration's military hostilities with regard to Iran must end.
