Representative Gregory Meeks’ resolution to curb presidential military authority in Iran failed in a narrow 214-213 House vote. Fox News characterizes the result as a rejected "Democrat attempt" to limit President Trump, while left-leaning outlets like Common Dreams and The New Republic focus on the single Democratic defection that caused the measure to fail. Across the spectrum, outlets highlight Meeks’ warning that the U.S. is approaching a conflict with no "exit ramp."
