The House rejected a resolution aimed at limiting U.S. military action in Iran by a 213-214 vote. Jared Golden was the only Democrat to oppose it, arguing that the measure could weaken the U.S. position in negotiations.
A Democratic-led resolution to constrain U.S. military action in Iran failed in the House on Thursday, 213-214. The article says Gregory Meeks introduced the measure and plans to try again; the Senate had rejected a parallel measure the previous day, 47-52.
Thomas Massie was the only Republican to support the House resolution, while Warren Davidson voted present. Henry Cuellar, Greg Landsman and Juan Vargas supported it after voting against a similar effort the previous month. Golden said ongoing negotiations during the ceasefire were important and that the resolution would weaken the U.S. position.

19 OUTLETSThe House rejected an Iran war powers resolution, and Jared Golden was the only Democrat to vote against it. The measure sought to constrain U.S. military action in Iran. Left-leaning outlets frame Golden's vote as helping keep U.S. military action going. Center outlets mostly emphasize the close vote and Golden's argument that the measure could weaken U.S. negotiating leverage, though some headlines cast his role critically. Right-leaning outlets split, with one article praising Golden for preserving Trump's authority and another stressing that his vote defeated an effort to rein in his Iran war powers.
