The US House voted Thursday to restrict President Donald Trump's future military action against Iran, as lawmakers sought to claw back congressional war powers from the White House, SIA reports.
The vote, 224 to 194, was largely along party lines, although three members of Trump's Republican Party joined Democrats in approving the measure that demands the president not engage in military action against Iran unless authorised by Congress.
Eight Democrats opposed the measure.
The measure will “protect American lives and values” by limiting Trump's military actions, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said.
The House vote came a day after the Trump administration briefed lawmakers on its actions in Iran. Democrats and several Republicans called the briefings inadequate, adding that officials did not provide enough details about why the attack was justified.
