Congress Votes to End War in Iran | Little Rock News

Congress just passed a third war powers resolution to end the U.S. military involvement in Iran, narrowly winning 220-204 votes with more Republicans joining Democrats this time — a sign of growing pressure on the president’s foreign policy. Though the president is expected to veto it, lawmakers are pushing back, demanding accountability and questioning the cost — both financial and geopolitical. The war has already burned $38 billion and could cost another $2-3 billion monthly, worsening inflation and fueling voter frustration over soaring gas prices. Despite his pledge to avoid foreign wars, the president’s actions are sparking internal GOP dissent, especially among swing district reps hearing from constituents weary of the conflict. While Congress holds the constitutional power to declare war, the president’s commander-in-chief authority and the War Powers Act’s limitations make stopping the conflict an uphill battle — unless the political tide shifts.
