U.S. House of Representatives Passes Resolution Restricting Trump’s War Powers Against Iran, But It Lacks Legal Binding Force

According to the Daily Caller, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a War Powers Resolution on Wednesday by a vote of 215 to 208, aimed at limiting President Donald Trump’s military authority regarding Iran. Four Republican lawmakers voted in favor. The resolution, introduced by Democratic Representative Gregory Meeks of New York, requires Trump to cease hostile military actions against Iran unless undertaken in defense against an “imminent attack,” and mandates that any subsequent action must first obtain congressional approval.
