The House of Representatives has called off a scheduled vote on a Senate resolution that would limit President Donald Trump's authority to engage in military action against Iran. The vote was postponed because Republican leaders reportedly lacked the necessary votes to defeat the resolution. The resolution, brought forth by Democrats, aims to compel Trump's withdrawal from the conflict with Iran.
This development comes as frustration with the ongoing war grows on Capitol Hill, impacting global shipping and U.S. gas prices. A similar resolution in the House narrowly failed the previous week on a tie vote, with three Republicans voting in favor. The Senate's resolution advanced earlier this week with support from four GOP senators and the absence of three others. The postponement means the vote is now expected in June.
