House war powers resolution fails by one vote after Jared Golden opposed

newsApr 16, 20266217

The House rejected a war powers resolution meant to limit President Trump’s authority to conduct strikes against Iran, losing 213-214. Representative Jared Golden of Maine’s 2nd District was the lone Democrat to vote against the measure. Because the resolution failed in the House by one vote, it will not advance to the Senate and Congress imposed no new statutory limits on Trump’s Iran strike authority.
