Trump CORNERED by Iran War Vote as GOP Splits | TMP #1064
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Trump got cornered by the House vote on his Iran war powers — and the GOP split is now on the record.
The House passed a War Powers Resolution 215–208, with four Republicans joining Democrats to say Trump should not be able to keep U.S. forces in hostilities with Iran unless Congress authorizes it.
This vote did not end the war.
But it did something Washington hates.
It put names on the board.
Now every member has to answer the question: do you make Trump come back to Congress, or do you let one man keep the war machine running?
This is not some dusty civics argument. This is about troops, money, gas prices, working families, and whether Congress still has the guts to do its job.
If the war is necessary, make the case.
If the risk is worth it, vote on it.
If the cost is worth it, put your name on it.
