Politico: House votes to rein in Trump on Iran
The non-binding measure limits Trump’s ability to go to war with Iran without first seeking congressional approval.
The biggest surprises in this vote come out of Florida, where Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D-FL) voted against the bill, while loyal Trump supporter Matt Gaetz (R-FL) voted yes.
I represent more troops than any other member of this body. I buried one of them earlier today at Arlington.
If our servicemembers have the courage to fight and die in these wars, Congress ought to have the courage to vote for or against them.
I’m voting for this resolution. pic.twitter.com/cSCBG7CmIm
