Gold Finance reports that on May 15th, the U.S. House of Representatives narrowly rejected a resolution led by Democrats aimed at preventing war with Iran.
The resolution called for a halt to hostilities unless authorized by Congress.
The vote resulted in 212 votes for and 212 votes against, failing due to not achieving a simple majority.
This was the third vote in the House this year on war powers related to Iran, and the first since the 60-day war deadline expired on May 1st.
According to relevant regulations, Trump was required to brief Congress on the war issue before this deadline.
Trump claimed at the time that a ceasefire had “terminated” hostilities against Iran.
The margin of defeat in previous votes has been narrowing.
The last failed vote was 213 to 214, with one member casting an “present” vote.
The Senate’s vote was also closely contested.
On Wednesday, the Senate blocked a war powers resolution with a vote of 50 to 49, with three Republican senators and all but one Democratic senator voting in favor of advancing the measure.
