The House on Thursday narrowly defeated a war powers resolution aimed at limiting President Trump’s ability to take military action against Iran, marking House Democrats’ third failed attempt to advance the measure. The vote failed 213–214, with Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) voting in favor and Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME) voting against. Rep. Warren Davidson (R-OH), who voted in favor of a similar resolution last month, voted “present.” Reps. Juan Vargas (D-CA), Greg Landsman (D-OH) and Henry Cuellar (D-TX), who had voted against the measure previously, flipped to support it this time. A similar resolution failed in the Senate on Wednesday in a 47–52 vote, largely along party lines. #houseo
