House Republicans cancel vote on war powers resolution limiting Trump's Iran military operations
House Republicans postponed a scheduled vote on a Democratic-sponsored war powers resolution that would have compelled President Trump to withdraw from military operations against Iran. The vote was delayed after GOP leaders determined they lacked sufficient votes to defeat the measure, signaling weakening congressional support for the war launched without formal authorization over two months prior.
