The House on Friday passed an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to block the Trump administration from funding military action against Iran without congressional approval.

Most House Republicans opposed the measure, saying it could prevent Trump and the Pentagon from swiftly responding to threats emanating from Iran.

However, 27 Republicans broke rank to vote for the amendment. Here are the 27 House Republicans who voted for Friday’s amendment:

Rep. Andy Biggs (Ariz.)

Rep. Ken Buck (Colo.)

Rep. Tim Burchett (Tenn.)

Rep. Michael Burgess (Texas)

Rep. Ben Cline (Va.)

Rep. Michael Cloud (Texas)

Rep. Tom Cole (Okla.)

Rep. James Comer (Ky.)

Rep. Warren Davidson (Ohio)

Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (Pa.)

Rep. Matt Gaetz (Fla.)

Rep. Anthony Gonzalez (Ohio)

Rep. Paul Gosar (Ariz.)

Rep. Morgan Griffith (Va.)

Rep. Jody Hice (Ga.)

Rep. Trey Hollingsworth (Ind.)

Rep. Jim Jordan (Ohio)

There’s a lot more south and midwest in there than I thought there would be.

We got 52 reps from the mid atlantic and great lake states.

I’m surprised all 52 didn’t vote against Trump.

Pleasantly surprised.

Let me guess. "Independent" Justin Amash voted with the RATS on this one, for "constitutional" reasons, of course.

This is a bad amendment. But I have to say, with some here on FR so vocal about John Bolton driving Trump to a war with Iran ( I don’t view a hawkish stance in that way. Sometimes the other guy forces the fight ), I’m surprised those folks aren’t here praising the list of republicans voting with the Dems on this.

Virtue hypocrite Signalling morons... right after Trump refrained from bombing Iran, these morons tell Trump like school teachers it is bad to bomb IRan.

This is the kind of empowerment opinion making stupid sht we get from 1984

“...The House passed an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act to block the Trump administration from funding military action against Iran...”

Just another stupid, waste-of-time, feel-good gesture
that will never see the light of day in the Senate.

And yesterday @ the Social media conference, Trump singled out Gaetz as a fighter and a real rock star. Go figure.

LOL, a list of Republicans I might actually consider voting for, if I lived in their districts. We’ve wasted enough blood and treasure on fighting wars in the middle east. Read the Constitution some time, you might find making the decision to go to war is supposed to be Congresses prerogative to begin with.
