GOP-Led House Approves Iran War Powers Resolution In Rebuke To Trump

⏱ 1 minute read

The House of Representatives on Wednesday approved a war powers resolution aimed at ending unauthorized U.S. military involvement in Iran, marking the most significant congressional challenge yet to President Donald Trump’s handling of the conflict.

The measure, sponsored by Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.) invokes the 1973 War Powers Resolution and would require the administration to obtain explicit authorization from Congress before continuing hostilities against Iran, except in cases involving an imminent threat to the United States. The vote followed months of growing bipartisan concern over a conflict that began in.

On Tuesday, Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) formally announced in a video that she would not seek reelection in next year’s midterm elections.

“I will not be seeking reelection in 2026,” Ernst said. “This was no easy decision. I love my state and country.”

My fellow Iowans, serving as your United States Senator is the privilege of a lifetime.

Heading into next year’s elections and beyond, I’ll be working alongside our GREAT Republican candidates to ensure we keep Iowa RED and deliver more results for hardworking Iowans. https://t.co/JhG7L3HgKs

A GOP operative confirmed last week that Ernst was expected to forgo seeking a third term. The operative noted that Rep. Ashley Hinson (R-Iowa), a former reporter-turned-lawmaker who’s served in Congress since 2021, is likely best positioned to replace her.

The nonpartisan election handicapper Cook Political Report had rated her seat as “likely Republican” before news of her expected retirement broke.

Ernst was first elected in 2014.
