Cheers as US House passes resolution on Trump’s Iran war powers – video
The floor of the US House of Representatives broke out in cheers after lawmakers voted to oblige Donald Trump to seek approval from Congress to continue the Iran war or withdraw troops. A small group of Republicans voted with the Democrats for the resolution, which now passes to the Senate. It was the fourth attempt to vote on reining in Trump’s powers to continue the conflict. The resolution rejected the White House’s argument that it does not need to abide by a legal requirement to seek congressional approval to continue the war beyond 90 days because a ceasefire was agreed in April
