A report cited by the article said the vote was largely symbolic because Trump would likely veto any similar legislation, but it could signal growing dissent within his own party and influence possible Senate action.<\/p>\n<p>The article also explains the War Powers Resolution\u2019s basics: when introducing forces into hostilities, the president must notify Congress within 48 hours, and forces must be withdrawn within 60 days unless Congress authorizes continued force or declares war. It notes Congress has historically authorized or funded military actions without formal declarations of war, and highlights the constitutional roles of Congress and the president in war-making.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump responded Thursday to the four \u201cbad\u201d House Republicans who voted with Democrats to invoke the War Powers Resolution to end military operations in Iran, calling their conduct shameful and \u201cunpatriotic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The resolution <a href=\"https:\/\/clerk.house.gov\/Votes\/2026199?Page=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">passed<\/a>, with 215 voting in favor, which included every Democrat, and 208 against.<\/p>\n<p>The<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/breaking-house-passes-iran-war-powers-resolution-4-republicans-side-democrats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> four GOP lawmakers<\/a> who sided with Democrats were Reps.
