House Finally Passes to end to Trump's stupid, illegal & unpopular war on Iran.

A bipartisan majority in the House voted to rein in President Trump's lawless, profligate and blood-soaked war in Iran. Only Congress can declare war and no such declaration has been made. This is a win for the powers and the wisdom of the legislative branch.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (@raskin.house.gov) 2026-06-03T22:11:39.466Z


Joining all Dems were

Republicans Davidson, OH, Fitzpatrick, PA, Barrett, MI, Massie, KY

Now Senate must do the same.

Are war powers votes special, or could Thune bury this in Senate procedural bull?

Don’t know if a cloture vote is required or not.

What is significant is a number of republicans votes yes, and others abstained, allow the vote to pass

I saw it put that now as it goes to the Senate, those who vote "no" will be supporting the president and Netanyahu's wars.

Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., argued that this vote would "weaken" Trump's hand on negotiating with Iran.

BREAKING: House adopts war powers resolution to rein in Trump on Iran

More than three months after President Donald Trump first launched an attack on Iran — and, more relevantly, more than 90 days since the war began — the House successfully voted to reassert Congress’ authority over the war.

In a 215-208 vote, the House adopted a war powers resolution on Wednesday, with four Republicans joining all Democrats in support of the legislation. (Reps. Tom Barrett, R-Mich., Warren Davidson, R-Ohio, Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa., and Thomas Massie, R-Ky., voted for the resolution.)

It’s a symbolic blow to Trump, who has largely maintained an iron grip over the House GOP conference throughout the Iran conflict, even as the war dragged past a significant 90-day deadline intended to limit a president’s ability to wage war without congressional authorization.....

Over in the Senate, lawmakers last month also voted to advance a war powers resolution, 50-47. That procedural vote came amid GOP attendance issues and newfound independence from some Republicans, including Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana who recently lost his primary bid for a third term.

But Senate GOP leaders expect that, with full attendance, the measure would fail on a final vote.

Separately on Wednesday, the House also advanced a bill to both provide additional aid to Ukraine and impose new sanctions on Russia. That vote was 218-205, with six Republicans joining Democrats.

Democrats used a discharge petition to force the Ukraine aid vote, going around House GOP leaders who control floor action.

A vote on final passage could happen as soon as Thursday.

One wonders how many secretly would have... Trump's endorsing primary challengers has triggered the GOP finally. Not sure this isn't monkeys throwing poo though.

Sorry to be so crude about it but I can't think of a more honest way to portray my thoughts on it.
