U.S. House passes resolution to limit Trump's ability to wage war on Iran

13 Sept 10:47 Key points summarised by AI

The U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution to curb President Trump's authority for further military action against Iran, following a drone strike that killed a top Iranian commander and escalated regional tensions.
The vote was largely partisan, with Democrats asserting congressional power over military engagement, while Republicans opposed the measure as a political gesture that undermines the president.
The resolution's fate remains uncertain in the Republican-controlled Senate, despite some bipartisan support, as the White House criticized it as 'ridiculous' and an attempt to hinder presidential authority.
Invoking the War Powers Act, the measure sparks ongoing debate regarding its binding nature and the constitutional division of power between Congress and the President concerning military action.
