US House passes largely symbolic vote ordering end to Iran war

The US House of Representatives passed a resolution on Wednesday ordering the withdrawal of American troops from the Iran war. Four members of Trump's majority Republicans joined Democrats in backing the measure, which passed 215-208 and heads to the Senate.

The measure is intended to enforce the 1973 War Powers Act. Under this Act, presidents have 60 days to obtain congressional approval after introducing US forces into hostilities. That deadline passed weeks ago. Republicans backing Trump argued the resolution would weaken the US while Iran remains vulnerable.
