For the third time, the U.S. House has voted to end U.S. military action against Iran without
0:07
congressional approval. And this time, more Republicans are joining Democrats to limit
0:12
President Trump's war powers. Seven Republicans joined all Democrats voting Tuesday night
0:17
passing the resolution 220-204. That's up from four Republicans who backed a similar
0:23
House measure in July. The resolution directs Trump to remove U.S. forces from hostilities
0:28
with Iran unless Congress specifically authorizes them. The vote comes as the war approaches seven
0:35
months, far longer than Trump initially said the fighting would last. The measure would still need
0:41
to clear the Senate, and it's not clear the chamber will take it up. A similar House resolution
0:46
passed in July has yet to move there, and even if this one reaches the president's desk, Trump is
0:53
expected to veto it. This is likely the House's last war powers vote on Iran before the midterms
0:59
but it may not be the last Iran-related vote before lawmakers leave Washington
