US House votes to limit Trump’s war powers in Iran

The Democratic-controlled US House of Representatives has approved a resolution to limit Donald Trump’s ability to take military action in Iran, in a largely party-line vote that underscored the divisions in Washington over the crisis with Tehran.

The motion, sponsored by Democrat Elissa Slotkin, a former CIA agent, seeks to stop the president from taking further military action in the Middle Eastern country without getting approval from Congress, under the War Powers Resolution of 1973.
