Brian Mast called the resolution “crazy” and “hypocrisy,” citing a pause in fighting and past military actions under Democratic presidents.
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.
