Four Democrats split from the rest of their party to vote down the War Powers Resolution which would have halted President Donald Trump from continuing strikes against Iran without first gaining Congressional approval.
Much like it was in the Senate the day before, the measure was defeated in the Republican-led House of Representatives Thursday evening with a 212-219 vote.
With voting largely representing party lines, all but two GOP lawmakers moved against the measure—Representatives Thomas Massie of Kentucky, a lead sponsor of the resolution, and Warren Davidson of Ohio.

Pentagon officials briefed Democratic and Republican staff of several national security committees in both the Senate and the House of Representatives for more than 90 minutes on the unfolding U.S. attack in Iran, White House spokesperson Dylan Johnson said earlier.
In the briefings, administration officials emphasized that Iran’s ballistic missiles and proxy forces in the region posed an imminent threat to U.S. interests, but there was no intelligence about Tehran attacking U.S. forces first, the two sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters.
Another elite-driven war launched by a nominally democratic system. This is no longer about a bad leader; this is about the system that produced him, enabled him, and rewards him and his cadre of degenerate lickspittles.
