What Happened?
The U.S. House of Representatives voted to advance a resolution that would block further hostilities with Iran. In a largely party-line vote, four House Republicans joined all Democrats in voting for the resolution. The U.S. Senate advanced a similar measure two weeks ago. One of the Republicans who voted for the measure, Congressman Thomas Massie of Kentucky, said, ‘The People’s House is sending a message: End this war.’
President Trump responded by saying, ‘Yesterday, in a meaningless vote, the House voted, four bad Republicans and all of the Dumocrats, to limit my War Powers.’
Why it Matters
The vote potentially sets up a showdown between Congress and the President over the war with Iran. President Trump has at times said he intends to end the war with Iran and continue it, a contradiction which has been reflected in the actions of the administration, which has continued to launch attacks on Iran while pursuing negotiations. Under the War Powers Act, military action that goes beyond sixty days is automatically terminated without a declaration of war or approval from Congress…

The War Powers Resolution (WPR), first adopted in 1973 over the veto of President Richard Nixon, establishes presidential reporting requirements and parliamentary procedures intended to reaffirm the constitutional role of Congress in committing the United States into armed conflict abroad. According to the WPR, sixty days after the President first reports to Congress (or was required to do so), the use of the Armed Forces is automatically terminated unless Congress has declared war or passed legislation authorizing the action.
The President may extend this sixty-day period an additional thirty days by certifying in writing to Congress the need for continued use of force. The war in Iran, which began in February, is now well beyond sixty days since it began. Despite several past court challenges, federal courts have avoided ruling on the constitutionality of the WPR, which means it could be challenged by the Trump Administration in court. But absent the intervention of the court system, the provisions of the WPR are still in effect.
Whether Congress can force the Trump Administration to end the war in Iran will likely become a test of political will, and one that may or may not include a court challenge. Even without a court ruling, the war in Iran remains deeply unpopular in the U.S., with over two-thirds of voters opposing the war. The unpopularity of the war is likely why four House Republicans broke ranks with the president. Since this is a Congressional election year, public opinion on the war is a major factor for both the White House and Congress.
How it Affects You
Following yesterday’s vote by the house, continuing the war with Iran would likely violate the War Powers Act, yet the Trump Administration appears to be trying to bring the war with Iran to an end through negotiations. The house vote indicates that patience in Congress to end the war has run out.
