Republicans call off vote on Iran war resolution that was on the verge of passing

The House had scheduled a vote on a war powers resolution, brought by Democrats, that would rein in Trump's military campaign. But as it became clear that Republicans would not have the numbers to defeat the bill, GOP leaders declined to hold a vote on it. It was the latest sign of the slipping support in Congress for a war that Trump launched more than two months ago without congressional approval.

"We had the votes without question and they knew it, and as a result they're playing a political game," said Democratic Rep. Gregory Meeks, who sponsored the bill.

Disgusting.

They are hoping after a few weeks the outrage will move to something else he has done. Then quietly pass it with token do nothing reforms.

I believe the Dems can force a vote on this bill, so this will have to come up for a vote again and it will pass, so their only option is to hold up the vote on the bill.
