The White House’s decision to launch widespread strikes against targets in Iran over the weekend appeared unlikely to flip any votes on a pair of pending war powers resolutions that would tie President Donald Trump’s hands on further military action in the region.
Both chambers have teed up votes on their respective measures this week — though the chances of passage in either remain slim.
In the House, Democratic Reps. Josh Gottheimer and Jared Moskowitz have said they would oppose bipartisan legislation intended to stop Trump’s large-scale air strikes to take down the Iranian government — joining nearly all House Republicans in opposition to the measure.
