House Iran War Powers resolution fails by one vote, 213-214

The House of Representatives voted 213-214 on April 16, 2026, rejecting a War Powers Resolution that would have constrained President Trump's military operations against Iran-linked forces. The resolution, introduced by House Foreign Affairs Committee ranking member Greg Meeks (D-NY), failed when centrist Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME) crossed party lines to vote no, while libertarian Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) voted yes with Democrats. It was the third time House Democrats had failed to pass an Iran war powers resolution since the conflict began February 28, 2026.
