House Republicans pull vote to limit U.S. military action against Iran as support falters
House Republicans pulled a planned House vote aimed at blocking U.S. military action against Iran after lawmakers concluded they did not have enough support to pass it, Democrats said, turning the move into a fresh partisan fight over war powers and Congress’s role in any conflict with Tehran. According to reporting from The Independent and Bloomberg, Democrats accused Republicans of retreating because the party lacked the votes to defeat the War Powers Act resolution before Memorial Day, with one Democrat calling the decision “a disgrace.”
