The U.S. House of Representatives passes a resolution limiting Trump's war powers against Iran, but it is not legally binding.

Deep Tide TechFlow News: On June 06, Daily Caller reported that the U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday passed a war powers resolution with a vote of 215 to 208, aimed at limiting President Donald Trump’s military authority over Iran. A total of 4 Republican lawmakers voted in favor. The resolution was introduced by Democratic Congressman Gregory Meeks of New York. It calls on Trump to stop hostile military actions against Iran unless they are for defense against an “imminent attack,” and requires that any subsequent actions seek approval from Congress.

Because the House passed a “concurrent resolution,” according to rules on the Senate website, such resolutions—even if passed by both chambers—do not have legal enforceability. White House officials responded that the resolution is “unconstitutional.” Trump also posted on Truth Social, saying the vote was “meaningless,” and accused supporters of trying to undermine his final negotiations to end the war with Iran.

The resolution has now been referred to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. If the Senate amends it into a “joint resolution” that requires the president’s signature, Trump will almost certainly exercise his veto, and Congress would need a two-thirds overwhelming majority to override the veto. Previously, on May 1, Trump wrote to Congress claiming that the war against Iran had been “terminated” to evade the 60-day congressional authorization period stipulated by the War Powers Resolution of 1973, but legal experts said that a ceasefire agreement cannot restart the legal deadline.
