US House passes Iran war powers resolution in rare pushback against Trump 03.06.2026

The U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution aimed at curbing President Donald Trump's authority to engage in military action against Iran without congressional approval. The vote, which saw four Republicans join Democrats, passed 215-208. This marks the first successful war powers resolution against Trump's actions in Iran, a conflict initiated on February 28th that has now reached its 100th day and cost over $29 billion, with projections reaching over $1 trillion. Despite passage in the House, the resolution faces a significant challenge in the Senate and a likely veto from President Trump, as overcoming a veto requires a two-thirds majority in both chambers, a threshold not yet met. Public opinion polls indicate broad disapproval of the war, with 60 percent of U.S. citizens against Trump's approach.
