On June 3, 2026, the House of Representatives voted 215-208 to limit President Donald Trump's war powers concerning military action against Iran, requiring congressional authorization for any troop deployment. The vote saw unanimous support from Democrats and a few Republicans, including Thomas Massie, Warren Davidson, Brian Fitzpatrick, and Tom Barrett, who opposed the president's stance. While the resolution passed, it is expected to face a presidential veto, as the majority of Republicans supported Trump. House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast criticized the vote as politically motivated, while some Republicans expressed concern that the resolution could hinder efforts to negotiate peace. A Fox News poll indicated that approximately 60% of voters oppose military action against Iran, although 72% believe the U.S. is winning the conflict. The Senate had previously advanced a similar resolution in May, but no bicameral agreement has been reached yet.
