The House of Representatives voted on March 11 in favor of a resolution aimed at limiting President Donald Trump’s ability to take military action against Iran without congressional approval.

The War Powers resolution was introduced by Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) with bipartisan support and was approved by the House on Wednesday in a largely party-line 227-186 vote. Six Republicans voted in favor of the resolution, while six Democrats and 180 Republicans opposed it.
