Rep. Warren Davidson backed a House resolution asserting Congress’s war powers and seeking to block further hostilities in Iran. President Donald Trump criticized the Republicans who supported it, and Davidson defended his position by invoking Congress’s authorization role and his constitutional oath.
On June 3, Davidson joined Democrats and three other Republicans, including Rep. Thomas Massie, in a 215-208 House vote on a resolution seeking to end the war in Iran. The article describes it as the first House vote to end the war and says a similar measure had advanced in the Senate two weeks earlier.
Trump criticized the Republicans who supported the resolution in a social media post the next morning, calling them “bad Republicans” and saying they “should be ashamed of themselves.” Davidson had posted that congressional authorization was lacking and called on the White House to define, authorize and accomplish its mission. The article also notes that Davidson is running for reelection against Democrat Vanessa Enoch.
