US House of Representatives Holds Voting to Limit Trump's Authority Related to the Iran War

JAKRRTA - The United States House of Representatives (DPR) voted to stop President Donald Trump's war against Iran, which was carried out without congressional approval.

This is the latest form of rejection from lawmakers against the president's handling of the conflict.

Four Republicans joined Democrats to support the measure introduced by Democratic Representative Pramila Jayapal. The vote was 214 to 208.

Reported by CNN, Thursday, July 23, the US Senate is expected to soon vote on a similar measure.

However, even if approved by the Senate, this move would not force the government to end the war.

The joint resolution - which was not submitted to the president for signature or veto - has no binding legal force.

This DPR resolution remains a significant form of reprimand.

The vote comes amid an escalation of the conflict that has reignited after the recent ceasefire.

This is the second time the House of Representatives has voted to limit the president's authority to continue the war, but it is the first time it has been done after the collapse of the memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran.

The Democratic Party has repeatedly pushed for a vote to limit Trump's war powers, both in the House of Representatives and the Senate.

However, this effort is slowly starting to gain more support from the Republican Party, which indicates increasing dissatisfaction within the party regarding the ongoing conflict. This vote again highlights the conflict on Capitol Hill.
