'We Have Only Just Begun,' Hegseth Says as 4 House Dems Join GOP to Back Trump War on Iran

Four House Democrats and the GOP voted down a war powers resolution, enabling Trump’s assault on Iran.

Democratic Reps. Henry Cuellar (Texas), Jared Golden (Maine), Greg Landsman (Ohio), and Juan Vargas (Calif.) stood with the GOP for the 212-219 vote against H.Con.Res.38, which was led by Reps. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) and Thomas Massie (R-Ky.). The only other Republican to support the resolution was Rep. Warren Davidson (Ohio)—though GOP Rep. Tony Gonzales (Texas), who is facing an unrelated scandal, did not participate.

“The Constitution is clear: Congress, not the president, has the authority to decide when this nation goes to war,” he added. “The American people must continue pressing their elected representatives to reclaim that authority and stop another disastrous war in the Middle East before it spirals further out of control.”
