The House of Representatives voted to stop President Donald Trump from further military action against Iran as the Middle East remained tense after the U.S. killing of a top Iranian commander and Iran’s retaliatory missile strikes

WASHINGTON/BAGHDAD - The U.S. House of Representatives voted on Thursday to stop President Donald Trump from further military action against Iran as the Middle East remained tense after the U.S. killing of a top Iranian commander and Iran’s retaliatory missile strikes.

Later, at a campaign rally in Toledo, Ohio, Trump said the leader of Iran’s elite Quds force had been planning attacks on U.S. embassies. Trump said he had suspicions about the cause of the Ukrainian Boeing 737-800 plane crash, adding: “Somebody could have made a mistake.”.Earlier on Thursday, Iran spurned Trump’s call for a new nuclear pact, and its commanders threatened more attacks, fueling worries that an apparent pause in U.S.-Iran conflict could be short-lived.

Trump said no U.S. troops had been harmed in the strikes and Iran “appears to be standing down,” adding that Washington did not want to use its “great military.” Brigadier General Esmail Ghaani, the new head of the Quds Force, which runs Iran’s foreign military operations, said he would follow the course pursued by his slain predecessor Soleimani.

Instead of taking back responsibility by repealing earlier War Powers resolutions, these Dumbasses try to handcuff the executive branch WITHOUT taking responsibility.

The Commander in Chief can do what he/she wants to do. It’s the law

Didn't POTUS do Executive Order suspending two powers of govetnment: judiciary, legislative?Only the Executive ,Branch is in play while he rules for 8 years or more.

That lot are off their trolleys, how can a president deal effectively with mititary threats if he has to get cretins like that to vote in order to form a military response?

There are a lot of morons on here that really think this vote means anything. It won't pass the Senate and is non-binding

Should have included all countries.

It was a resolution. It's not law. Morons.

In further news the Democrats made a mockery of the constitution today by wasting the houses time in a sideshow of political grandstanding.

Virginia Democrats won an election. Gun owners are talking civil war

The joke is that it has nothing to do with Iran.....

One third of one branch of government. Congress is not the Executive Branch.

No mention of Iran's war crime of shooting down a commercial airplane I see.

In the face of evidence showing that a terrorist regime shot down a domestic flight murdering hundreds of innocent civilians, SpeakerPelosi w/ House Democrats and their media allies seek to stop anyone who tries to step in and end the terrorist activity.

Where were you when G. W. Bush invaded and striked Iraq?

St.Kilda 224 - Geelong 194 So rich watching the Dems support Iran and not our President. The world's leading promoter of terrorism that rails about hating America is being put above America by the radical Dems. This will not end well. They hate that they cannot control our President.
