House rebukes Trump in vote to restrict his Iran war powers
CNN ^ | July 23, 2026 | Ellis Kim

Posted on 07/23/2026 9:08:39 AM PDT by Trump20162020

The US House voted to halt President Donald Trump’s war in Iran absent congressional approval, the latest repudiation by lawmakers of the president’s handling of the conflict.

Four Republicans voted with Democrats in support of the measure, which was brought Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal. The vote was 214 to 208. Republican Reps. Thomas Massie, Brian Fitzpatrick, Tom Barrett and Warren Davidson crossed party lines to support the resolution.

The Senate will vote later on Thursday on its own effort to rein in Trump’s war powers in Iran.

“If trump defies congress, they will impeach and remove him!”

Ain’t that easy when conservatives still control both houses and it takes a full 2/3rds vote in the senate to remove him. Don’t see it. Just liberals taking big.

Supporting Iran today is the equivalent of supporting Hitler in WW2. You can’t reason with a rabid dog—you kill it.

Reminds of Walter Cronkite declaring the Tet Offensive a major Commie victory when they thought it was such a defeat that they were ready to quit. Walter convinced them to carry on.

Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal

“more “American” votes encouraging our enemies to keep fighting”

Everyone, I mean Everyone, remember this day when the Iranians kill the next American. The day when Democrats, and RHINO’s condemned another American to die from Terrorism. This was it, this was their chance to stand up for America, Americans, and the Armed Forces. The Stood for the Mullahs, the Russians, and China.

got it.
I used to think Walter Chronkite was trustworthy
but yes, I finally got over that misapprehension

(besides his having a most unfortunate name, ha!)

(from the German Krankeit or Dutch Krankeid, meaning Sickness or Illness....)

yes.
and they enable, support, facilitate the enemy’s continued resolve ... to keep attacking, fighting

and in the process, killing more Americans and others

Trump is ending Jimmy Carter’s 47-year war.

It would be idiotic to stop while the Iranian government is on its knees.

Iran will not stop their offense just because Congress said so.

such idiotic, tretcherous grandstanding.. for what?
their vote doesn’t have any real-world significance...
other than encouraging our enemies
