The proposed resolution would require congressional approval for further military action by President Donald Trump.
The article reports that Rep. Chris Smith ended a House pro forma session before Rep. Glenn Ivey could seek unanimous consent for a war powers resolution limiting President Trump’s military action against Iran. Democrats say they will continue seeking votes, while a two-week ceasefire is in place and a presidential veto could block a resolution.
