US Congress votes to restrain Trump on Iran

1 / 3The House of Representatives voted to join the Senate in support of a resolution that bars US President Donald Trump from any military action against Iran without an explicit vote from CongressThe House of Representatives voted to join the Senate in support of a resolution that bars US President Donald Trump from any military action against Iran without an explicit vote from Congress Washington - The US Congress on Wednesday gave its final approval to a bid to restrain President Donald...

"If President Trump is serious about his promise to stop endless wars, he will sign this resolution into law," said Senator Tim Kaine, the Democrat who spearheaded the move. On January 3, Trump ordered a drone strike that killed Iran's most powerful general, Qassem Soleimani, at the Baghdad airport. Representative Mike McCaul, the top Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, denounced the resolution and said that it should instead state that Trump's killing of Soleimani made Americans safer.

The resolution, if it becomes law, would not stop Trump or future US presidents from taking military action if they determine there is an imminent threat from Iran.

But the Democrats had no problem giving Iran loads of CASH on Pallets? Crazy times!
