In a complete betrayal of President Trump, the House of Representatives has just passed a resolution to limit his war powers on Iran.
The final vote was 215-208, with four Republicans joining Democrats to pass the resolution.
Those four RINOs were:
- Thomas Massie
- Brian Fitzpatrick
- Tom Barrett
- Warren Davidson
This comes after several similar attempts to restrict President Trump’s war powers on Iran failed in previous months.
Here are the details:

Good thing this WON’T MATTER, as Trump does NOT view War Powers Act as constitutional, even if it passed all the way.
What traitors!
But, while the resolution’s passage may seem like bad news for President Trump, it’s really the opposite.
There’s not a chance that the resolution actually has any impact on his ability to take military action in Iran because there is simply not enough support to override a presidential veto.
Fox News explained:

BREAKING: President Trump suffered a rare defeat in the House after Democrats and a handful of Republicans voted to sharply curb his war powers in Iran.
Lawmakers voted 215-208 to withdraw troops from using military force against Iran absent congressional authorization.
All Democrats present backed the measure, joined by Reps. Thomas Massie, Warren Davidson, Brian Fitzpatrick, and Tom Barrett — the only Republicans to break with the president.
The vote is largely symbolic for now. Trump is expected to veto the resolution, and supporters do not have the votes needed to override it. But the bipartisan rebuke highlights growing divisions on Capitol Hill over U.S. involvement in Iran.
The only practical thing this resolution does do is expose all the RINOs working against President Trump.
Massie has already been ousted; and, several of the other congressmen who voted in favor of the war powers resolution will have a tough time getting re-elected in the midterms.
Fox News has more:
Massie, an ardent foe of the president who lost his primary to a Trump-backed challenger, and Davidson, a libertarian-aligned lawmaker have criticized the war in Iran. Fitzpatrick and Barrett are both facing potentially difficult re-election bids in swing districts.
A majority of Republicans, however, sided with the president as Democrats sought to put them on the record.
“It’s just a total BS vote. I think there’s no Democrat, no Republican that can tell you what forces they would want pulled from Iran,” House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast, R-Fla., told Fox News. “They just want a stupid political vote, which is what this is.”
The successful war powers vote is largely a symbolic loss for Trump given an expected presidential veto and the lack of a veto-proof majority.
Even if Congress did cobble together a supermajority to force the president’s hand, it’s unclear whether Trump would ultimately withdraw U.S. forces.
Trump administration officials have repeatedly argued the 1973 War Powers Resolution requiring congressional oversight of military action is unconstitutional.
The Senate advanced a similar resolution curbing the president’s war powers in May. But Democrats in both chambers have not yet gotten behind a bicameral measure that could be sent to Trump’s desk.
