House Ties 212–212 on Iran War Powers Resolution The U.S. House of Representatives failed to pass a resolution that would have limited President Donald Trump’s military powers concerning Iran. The chamber tied 212–212 on a war powers resolution introduced by Rep. Josh Gottheimer. This tie vote meant the resolution’s defeat, as it required a simple majority for passage, thereby preventing mandated congressional authorization for U.S. involvement in hostilities.
