The House on Wednesday was set to vote on a measure directing President Trump to withdraw U.S. forces from Iran or win approval from Congress to continue the war.<\/span><\/p>\n

The resolution had been on track to pass in May when Republican leaders abruptly pulled it from the floor to avoid an embarrassing defeat for both the party and the president.<\/span><\/p>\n

Adoption of the resolution would be a remarkable rebuke to Trump and his handling of the war, after he has repeatedly dismissed any effort by Congress to curb his power and the GOP has largely ceded its prerogatives to do so, deferring to him time and again. Republicans put off the vote two weeks ago, recognizing that they did not have sufficient votes to defeat the measure.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

But it was not clear whether they had made any headway in the days since, in winning converts, as the conflict has dragged on and Trump has made little progress toward ending it. And GOP leaders are unable to delay the vote any longer because Democrats have invoked the War Powers Resolution, which requires consideration of such measures within a limited period of time.<\/span><\/p>\n
