The House voted Friday to prevent President Trump from going to war with Iran without congressional approval, after more than two dozen Republicans joined Democrats to include the provision in the House’s annual defense authorization bill.
The move sets up a showdown with the Senate over whether the Iran restriction, which includes an exception for cases of self-defense, will be included in the final bill negotiated between the two chambers.

I don’t believe President Trump has any intention to go to war against Iran.
That said, this is a really dumb move that could move Iran to further aggressive acts in the belief that the moronic House will protect them from retaliation.

The primary mandate of the President of the U.S. is the safety and security of the Nation. Congress can G* T* He**, in case they are not there already.

I’m sure Mitch will bring it to the floor and allow a vote. All in the name of proving Republicans can govern in a bipartisan manner. Even if it passes Trump will veto it and I doubt there’s enough Senate votes to over ride. Still it’s shameful and totally unacceptable and an extremely hostile act against Trump. It will not stand. Stuff like this will be one more reason why Trump will win a historic landslide in 2020.

The only ones who want war with Iran are the neocon and liberals who make money off war. Meantime, Trump would not ever go to war without congressional approval. Have they learned nothing the past three years about how his mind works?

Helping the Europeans, Japan and China to make up their minds and ignore restrictions to buying Iranian oil.

Agree with #s 1 and 5. President Trump has no intention of going to war with Iran. It's just strategy. Remember when we were supposed to be going to war with NK.....and then we didn't.

So the House sides with Iran against the citizens of the USA. So two of the Democrat candidates for president of the USA actually have campaign events in Mexico. So the apparent front runner says he has no respect for borders of any kind and would have taxpayers fund free medical care for illegal aliens while the rest of us must pay insurance premiums. I'm getting dizzy. MAGA. Trump 2020 and whomever he endorses for 2024.

This is going to get really nasty when the Iranians start firing missiles at the US Navy. Every real ship Captain, to a man (or woman), will protect his ship. If there was ever any doubt whose side our chicken-livered, islam-worshiping, anti-American Congress is on, this action removes all doubt.

This is nothing but a political stunt, as Trump has no intention of going to war with Iran. The House Republicans that supported this should be purged from the GOP.

After all the photo ops and grandstanding, the 'Fab 4' vote against money to care for and shelter those poor, oppressed children at the border. Where's the love?
