House Passes 215-208 War Powers Resolution Directing Trump to End Iran Hostilities — First-Ever House Passage, Symbolic Without Senate and Veto Path

The House passed a war powers resolution 215-208 Wednesday — the first time any chamber has approved such a measure since U.S. and Israeli strikes began on Iran in late February — with four Republicans breaking ranks alongside unified Democrats. The vote is largely symbolic: the Senate has not scheduled a final vote and Trump would almost certainly veto the measure. However, the bipartisan rebuke signals mounting congressional pressure on the administration to reach a deal, and Trump's dismissal of the vote as 'meaningless' was immediately reflected in Thursday's equity futures selloff.
