00:02For the third time, the U.S. House has voted to end U.S. military action against Iran without
00:07congressional approval. And this time, more Republicans are joining Democrats to limit
00:12President Trump's war powers. Seven Republicans joined all Democrats voting Tuesday night,
00:17passing the Resolution 220-204. That's up from four Republicans who backed a similar
00:23House measure in July. The resolution directs Trump to remove U.S. forces from hostilities
00:28with Iran unless Congress specifically authorizes them. The vote comes as the war approaches
00:35seven months, far longer than Trump initially said the fighting would last. The measure would still
00:40need to clear the Senate, and it's not clear the chamber will take it up. A similar House
00:45resolution passed in July has yet to move there. And even if this one reaches the President's
00:52desk, Trump is expected to veto it. This is likely the House's last war powers vote on
00:57Iran before the midterms, but it may not be the last Iran-related vote before lawmakers leave
01:03Washington.
