Congress fails again — Trump’s Iran war machine stays unchecked
The US House had another chance to limit Trump’s power to wage war on Iran.
It failed.
The vote ended 212-212, just short of the majority needed to advance a resolution that would have forced US forces out of hostilities within 30 days.
So much for “checks and balances.”
This was already the third failed House attempt to rein in the war — after similar efforts collapsed in March and April. The Senate has been no better, rejecting repeated war powers moves.
The 60-day War Powers deadline passed on May 1, but Washington’s excuse machine now claims the ceasefire “paused the clock.”
