Representative Bill Foster argued that Congress should not surrender its constitutional role in decisions about the war.
The House rejected a resolution to limit President Donald Trump’s authority to wage war with Iran, 214 votes to 213, after a similar Senate measure failed. Democrats criticized Republicans for allowing Trump to act without congressional approval, while Republican Brian Mast defended opposing the resolution and cited past Democratic military actions.
