More: It was one of two Democratic-led measures opposed by the White House that advanced in the GOP-led House. Lawmakers also passed a motion that would unlock a vote on sending aid to Ukraine.

[I]t passed 215-208, with four Republicans joining all Democrats in voting yes. Those Republicans were Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Tom Barrett of Michigan and Warren Davidson of Ohio.

The resolution directs Trump to remove U.S. armed forces from hostilities with Iran, unless Congress votes to declare war or authorizes the use of military force against the Middle East nation. It would not force him to end the conflict, however, and is a symbolic expression of disapproval of Trump's war with Iran.

Now it's meaningless as Trump would never sign such a bill, but it does show that his hold the Republicans in Congress is being diminished. They're coming to the realization that Trump, for all intents and purposes, is already a 'lame-duck' president, and it's only going to get more obvious as we approach the midterms if it continues to look like the Democrats will at least win back the House, if not the Senate as well.

But TrumpCultInc. said it's not a war so it couldn't have an end because it never had a beginning and even if it was a war and it did have an actual beginning and Congress then told Trump to end it he wouldn't do so because he doesn't give a rat's ass what Congress thinks.

I doubt he wanted to stop this; now he can TACO and blame it on Congress.

He's now actually made Persia Great Again, and kicked the ever-lovin' chit outta the USofA.

"I'm not Participating in the Elections.

Nobody in either party represents me.

If that helps the Republicans, I don't give a ----.

I'm not voting for people who help Killers.

It's that simple.

Trump may well take this chance to TACO, and it will get him out of his mess, but he's going to hate everyone for it. And I do mean hate, and I do mean everyone..

Todd Blanche's first job as AG will be to declare Lawfare on those four miscreants.

So long as President Netanyahu wants to wage the unending war to stay in power, the US will continue to attack Iran.

Anyone that thinks Pedo Pisswig is in charge is an idiot.

You're stupid enough to give them exactly what they want.

How does legislation end this war? Does it compel the US to accede to Iran's demands?

Right now that is the only thing I see that ends this war.

"How does legislation end this war?"

Remember when our Republican President famously said:
"We are a Nation Of Laws?"

That's how.
But that America died, under our Republican President's leadership.

Trump is really mad that the House voted to end the war. "Unpatriotic! They should be ashamed of themselves"!

Months ago he said the war was essentially over, Iran had nothing to shoot with and were begging for a deal.
