In a bipartisan rebuke to President Donald Trump, the US House of Representatives has overwhelmingly passed a resolution condemning his decision to pull United States troops out of Syria, abandoning US allies in the region as Turkish troops have moved in.
The 354-60 vote on the resolution Wednesday was largely symbolic, but it signaled the widespread disapproval among lawmakers for Trump’s latest controversial foreign policy move. It came as fighting continued in northeastern Syria between Turkey and Kurdish fighters, who have been a key US ally in fighting the terror group ISIS.

I didn’t know the Vice-President had a brother in the House of Representatives. I learned something new today.
Kudos for Greg Pence and the 59 other Republicans who chose to support the president.
Me too. There were a lot of interesting reveals.
It’s good to know who will stand with our Presidents when the chips are down,
I googled the vote tally and "Freedom Caucus" founder (and deranged Paulbot RINO-turned-Independent) Justin Amash ended up voting "Present"
Man, this resolution must have been his own Kobayashi Maru scenario: he WANTS to "stick it to Trump" at every opportunity and vote to undermine anything and everything Trump wants, but he ALSO wants to vote to "send our troops home" at every opportunity. Oh, the agony! :-)
Every one of the traitors works for others, not for us.
REMOVE them all.
Russian body bags aren’t going home. Russia is putting an end to this war that the NeoCons & NeoLibs started, which cost the lives of many Syrian Christians.
Bitterly disappointed in Nunes, Scalise
.....thankful my own Congressman Posey voted in support of President Trump as well as Gaetz, Meadows, and Jordan
Can’t find one even on official govt sights....they are days behind in showing! Don’t blame them them on repub side - would want the shame to be hidden! Going to give mine an ear full is she is one of the turn coats! A meaningless vote and they wouldn’t stand with him when it matters!
Special interest vote only...repub voters and the President need a no and there are those that got sucked into a yes....boy oh boy so many have it wrong today!
Congratulations to the 60 Republican Congressmen who support our American servicemen and our President Trump who plans to bring our men and women home to the U.S. Three cheers and much gratitude.
At least most of the “deep state” House members have identified themselves... They all go on the list...
Largely?
