House passes resolution to end Iran War, challenging Trump

House lawmakers on Wednesday passed legislation designed to force President Trump to end the Iran War, marking a victory for Democrats and the constitutional purists who say the conflict is illegal without explicit congressional approval.

The tally was 215-208, with four Republicans — Reps. Thomas Massie (Ky.), Brian Fitzpatrick (Pa.), Tom Barrett (Mich.) and Warren Davidson (Ohio) — joining every Democrat in supporting the measure.

The development is largely symbolic, since there are lingering disputes about whether the measure, known as a concurrent resolution, carries the force of law. And Trump is certain to contest the authority of the measure even if it’s also passed by the Senate, where it’s headed next.

Still, the vote represents a significant development in the political battle over the Iran War, putting Congress on the record condemning a conflict that has dragged on for more than three months — and rattled the global economy — with no clear end in sight.

War critics in both chambers have tried numerous times over the last three months to pass resolutions to end the war, only to have them blocked by Trump’s GOP allies. That changed last month when the Senate advanced its own war powers resolution after Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) flipped his vote to yes just days after Trump helped to defeat Cassidy in Louisiana’s GOP primary. It’s unclear when the Senate measure will come up for a final vote.

In the House, Wednesday’s vote was the fourth time that critics of the war sought to end it. The first three war powers resolutions won some Republican support, but not enough to overcome the opposition of Trump’s allies in a chamber they control. Behind Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), most Republicans have argued that the conflict does not rise to the level of a war, and therefore doesn’t require congressional approval.

GOP leaders have also warned that tying Trump’s hands in the middle of the conflict would empower Tehran’s Islamic regime at the expense of American security.

The GOP’s wall of defense has eroded, however, as the conflict has grown increasingly unpopular nationally. The shift is not happening within the Republican base, who overwhelmingly support the war. But Independents have soured on conflict as it drags on — a warning sign for vulnerable Republicans fighting to keep their seats in November’s midterms.

Are you people trying to blame Okoye for not saving a swerving shot?? ??

In the last presidential election, Tinubu came Third after Atiku, but he bought Peter Obi’s First position.

2023 Authentic Presidential Election Results;
Peter Obi - First position
Atiku - Second position
Tinubu - Third position
Kwankwaso - Fourth Position

2027 will be too difficult for him, because he will not be allowed to swap Peter Obi's position.

Abdullahi Ibrahim Bewene... A mixed first half as he was solid on the ball and going forward but showed lapses defensively. Stage fright it turned out to be as he returned a beast in the second half, stopping every foray he encountered, intercepting, tackling and even gliding pass his opponents.

Unlike the 1st 45 from a defensive standpoint, he actually showed defensive improvements and cut off that meter of space he afforded the Poles. He started closing them down more, getting in their faces more and produced a well rounded defensive display.

I dont know what Chelle told him at HT but whatever it was, it worked.

Brilliant debut from the young man.

Another gem from the Czech Liga.

Had nothing to do with Obi but Buhari's useless first 4ys.


So rest.

You can silence 50 scholars with one fact, but you can't silence one ee-Dee-hot with 50 facts.

Actually it's not, only that people don't defend or conceal rubbish in the South West. Both right and wrong, ruling and opposition attack it, so it doesn't last. These are normal weekly things in the North and South east. No be today.

Believe me I understand obi's shortcomings of running away when leadership quality is expected of him...


I'm a big critic of obi and his modus operandi. But I fail to see how he used and dumped datti.


Maybe enlighten me probably I'd see from that angle as well.


I see no reason why datti is crying for now!

I've made some posts here, but as usual, you are so deep in the cesspit of propaganda to see them. I see you are no longer posting about Ukraine bombing Russian refineries and school dorms. What's wrong? Is it because Russia has been sending missiles into Kyiv?

I even learned the sales of alarm clocks has dropped in Kyiv since Russian missiles now keeps the residents awake at night 🤣🤣🤣

And everything is going fine across the pro-multipolar and resistance fronts.

- Hezbollah keeps killing the genocidal warts using fpv drones. The drones even have night vision, and the baby killers have become so desperate for a solution that they are already threatening to bomb civilian houses in Beirut in retaliation.

- On the Russian front, Russia is already inside Konstantynivkal, which is one of the three Ukrainian bastions left. Once it falls, Russia will focus on the other two bastions/fortress cities, Kramatorsk and Sloviansk. Once done, the whole of Donbass (Donetsk plus Luhansk) will be in the bag and Russia would have completed a major objective of the war.

- The situation is also smooth on the Iranian front. In the full video where Rubio bragged about US being the sole power, Senator Cory Booker mocked Rubio saying the US is the world's strongest country and yet was in a stalemate with Iran. 🤣🤣🤣

As for your ISWAP buddy who was killed in Nigeria, I send my condolences. I see you are pained and have resorted to your DARVO techniques again. Your support for JNIM is well documented on this thread and no amount of lies and propaganda is going to spin it off you.

Just so you know, the EU has already praised the Nigerian government for freeing the so-called repentant terrorists. It is only a matter of time before the EU openly supports JNIM and I know you too will quickly switch to openly supporting them. In the mean time, take a back row seat and enjoy the show.

That's the subject of discussion of the op. It's not about any other thing you talked of!
