Share:
The House rejected a resolution that would have required President Trump to seek congressional authorization before continuing military operations in Iran. The vote came six days after the U.S. and Israel launched strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. Two Republicans (Massie, Davidson) voted yes with Democrats; four Democrats (Golden, Landsman, Cuellar, Vargas) voted no with Republicans.

Why this is Courage
President Trump launched military strikes against Iran in February 2026 and claimed he did not need congressional authorization. This vote effectively ratified that claim in the House.
