The House for the first time Wednesday approved a war powers resolution that would halt the U.S. military action against Iran, defying President Donald Trump as a handful of Republicans joined with Democrats to end the three-month-long conflict that has reordered politics at home and abroad.

House Speaker Mike Johnson had tried to prevent an outcome that would show the mounting opposition to the war, abruptly shutting down floor action two weeks ago when the resolution was on the verge of approval. But displeasure has only grown as the conflict drags on and as Trump struggles to negotiate a plan for peace.

“Enough is enough,” said Rep. Gregory Meeks of New York, the top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, who led the effort.

“It is time for the president to do the right thing,” he said. “The people are tired of suffering because of his war of choice — suffering at the gas pump, suffering at the supermarkets.”

Rep. Meeks has the perfect surname. What a pussy.

Those Republicans also need to lose their jobs this November.

Sounds like the left is making all the right moves in their quest to make this a damaging loss for America for a long time to come, in an array of ways, many of which we don’t even know of at this point in time.

Keep up the great work on behalf of the American people, folks!! Some of that sort are even amongst us here. I know y’all are getting excited!!

Wish Trump would have ended this before they got their votes together.

Just wasting time and money on something Trump will just veto. I wish congress would actually do something instead of this performative bull shite.

Fun fact:

Abraham Lincoln fought a 4 year war with neither a declaration nor permission from Congress.

Also fun fact:

Bombings and blockades are slightly different than a civil war.

This would’ve never been brought up under a similar situation had this been with Obama or puppet-Joe in the WH.

And House Pubs wouldn’t have brought it up either.

I would hope even the most partisan of Dem voters or anti-DJT types can at least be honest enough to admit that.

Needs to get passed by the Senate as well. That would really be a nut-buster.

You know better. They wouldn’t admit the sun rises in the east if they thought it meant something positive for Trump.

Funny he didn't have the same attitude when gas was high under Biden and that was because of Biden's energy policies, not war.

Though Biden did blow up Russias gas pipeline
