House passes third war powers resolution to halt Iran conflict

The U.S. House has voted for a third time to end the war in Iran, approving a war powers resolution that would halt President Donald Trump’s ability to continue military action without congressional approval. The roll call was similar to earlier efforts this summer, and none of the resolutions have made it to the president’s desk, where Trump would almost certainly veto the measure.

Four Republicans had previously voted in the House to halt the Iran war. That number rose to seven during the latest vote.

GOP Reps. Zachary Nunn and Mariannette Miller-Meeks of Iowa, and retiring Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina, joined GOP Reps. Tom Barrett of Michigan, Warren Davidson of Ohio, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania and Thomas Massie of Kentucky in voting for the resolution.

All Democrats also voted for the resolution to bring an end to the Iran war.
