The House voted 215-208 to pass a War Powers Resolution directing President Donald Trump to end the unauthorized war with Iran, with four Republicans breaking party lines.
Trump attacked the measure on Truth Social, calling it “unpatriotic” and accusing Democrats of “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” while singling out the four Republican defectors.
Rep. Thomas Massie defended his vote, stating he had “Trump disappointment syndrome” because Trump promised no new wars.
The resolution relies on Section 5(c) of the 1973 War Powers Act, which allows Congress to direct the removal of forces without a declaration of war and it cannot be vetoed.
The administration claimed the ceasefire should pause the War Powers clock, but Rep. Warren Davidson rejected this, noting Congress has not authorized the war.
