about 23 hours ago175 readers
US President Donald Trump has criticized House members who voted to restrict his military powers regarding Iran, calling them 'unpatriotic'. The House passed a war powers resolution on Wednesday with a 215-208 vote seeking to halt further military action and require congressional approval for the conflict. Trump dismissed the measure as 'meaningless' and blamed Democrats and four Republicans for the vote, while his administration argued it was unconstitutional. Public polling shows 64% of voters oppose the Iran war, with support divided along partisan lines.
