GOP Leaders Cancel House Vote on Iran War Powers Resolution at Last Minute, Shielding Trump
House GOP leaders canceled a vote on a resolution limiting President Donald Trump's war powers in Iran, shielding him from potential rebuke.
House GOP leaders abruptly canceled a vote on a resolution to limit President Donald Trump's war powers in Iran, shielding him from potential rebuke and leaving it unclear what will happen next with his military actions in the country. The sudden cancellation came after Republicans were on the verge of losing the vote due to absences by several conservative lawmakers who opposed limiting Trump's power. The decision is seen as a significant blow to efforts to hold the president accountable for his handling of tensions with Iran. It remains unclear what will happen next with Trump's military actions in the country, but it appears that he has been spared a rebuke from Congress at least for now.
