By Karoun Demirjian Karoun Demirjian Congressional reporter focusing on national security Email Bio Follow April 4 at 12:10 PM The House voted Thursday to end U.S. participation in Yemen’s civil war, denouncing a Saudi-led bombing campaign that has been blamed for worsening an already dire humanitarian crisis and sending the measure to President Trump for an expected veto.

The resolution passed in the Senate last month with the support of seven Republicans. Thursday’s vote in the House marks the first time both chambers of Congress have voted to invoke the war-powers resolution to end U.S. military engagement in a foreign conflict. “The fundamental premise of this resolution is flawed because U.S. forces are not engaged in hostilities against the Houthis in Yemen,” House Foreign Affairs Committee ranking member Rep. Michael McCaul said on the House floor Thursday. “If we want to cut off economic assistance or logistic assistance to Saudi, there’s a way to do that. . . . I think we’re using the wrong vehicle here.

Before its passage, the House defeated an attempt to revise the resolution by adding language condemning a global boycott movement targeting Israeli-made products. The move, engineered by Republicans, would have forced the measure back to the Senate if passed, instead of clearing it for Trump’s consideration.

85K children dead during this conflict so far. Ashamed weren't able to help these people avoid such calamity. Yemen

glad to see this small step in the right direction. Iwould never support genocide no matter how many gallons of oil it gives me

How can POTUS veto a Bill passed by Congress to end a war like the U.S. Saudi-lead War in Yemen when the U.S. Constitution only authorizes Congress to declare War? This has never happened before. In the past only the President has asked for authority.

Saudi Arabia is a country that respects law and international order and participates in the Arab alliance in Yemen by UN resolution 2216 to rescue Yemeni children from terrorist militias

House Passes Resolution to End U.S. Role in War in YemenThe House passed a resolution that would end U.S. military assistance for the Saudi-led war in Yemen, a move to admonish the Trump administration over its support for Saudi Arabia that is likely to provoke the second veto of President Trump’s tenure. Of course he will! And to then watch that spoiled, narcissistic motherf****r turn around (knocking over lamps in the process, I assume) and refuse to authorize adequate disaster recovery aid for victims of the worst, deadliest US hurricane in over 100yrs...it is so, so sick enough helping the Saudis. remember they are the only ones who have physically attacked the United States since 1812
