US House passes war powers resolution to limit Trump's Iran military action.
The US House of Representatives voted 215-208 on June 4, 2026 to approve a war powers resolution directing President Trump to end US military hostilities with Iran. Four Republicans joined all Democrats in supporting the measure, which now moves to the Senate. The resolution is largely symbolic, as Trump has indicated he would veto any congressional attempt to constrain his commander-in-chief authority.

The split, in one line
Critics frame the vote as a necessary check on an illegal war of choice that has cost over $100 billion and spiked gas prices. Supporters call it meaningless and unpatriotic, arguing it undermines negotiations at a critical moment. Wire reports focus on the vote count and procedural mechanics.
