Four Republicans, including Thomas Massie, joined House Democrats in passing a war powers resolution aimed at ending the war in Iran. The Senate later rejected the resolution, and the article notes that the measure would not force the war to end.
The House passed the war powers resolution 214-208 on July 23, with four Republicans—Thomas Massie, Brian Fitzpatrick, Warren Davidson and Tom Barrett—joining Democrats in support. The article says Massie has repeatedly opposed the war since operations began in February and supported a similar resolution in June. He wrote after that earlier vote, “The People's House is sending a message: End this war.”
The article describes the House vote as largely symbolic and says it would not force an end to the war. It attributes to USA TODAY the characterization of the vote as a “sharp rebuke” to President Donald Trump. The Senate later rejected the resolution 49-47; the article says Sen. Mitch McConnell was on medical leave.
