House Democrats near vote to curb Trump's Iran war powers

House Democrats are nearing a successful vote on a resolution to limit President Trump's war powers regarding Iran. This measure, which aims to be a symbolic rebuke of the conflict, is gaining support, with key Democrats expressing confidence in its passage. Representative Jared Golden, who previously voted against similar resolutions, now intends to vote yes, citing the expiration of the 60-day window under the War Powers Act. Some Republicans, like Representative Don Bacon, are also considering supporting the resolution despite President Trump's opposition. AI
