Lawmakers passed a concurrent resolution calling for a halt to any military action in Iran without congressional approval in a 214-208 vote. The move is a largely symbolic rebuke against the President and the ongoing conflict; even if the measure passed the Senate as well, it would not go to Trump’s desk and would carry no force of law.
The Republicans who voted in support of the resolution on Thursday were Reps. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Tom Barrett of Michigan, and Warren Davidson of Ohio. The vast majority of GOP House members , however, once more voted against constraining Trump’s war authority.
“This is a vote that requires us to find the strength to do what is right for the American people,” she said, “and to send the clearest, even stronger message to this president of the United States that the United States Congress, the House of Representatives, is reasserting our authority over war. This war must end.”
Trump called the House’s passage of the earlier resolution “meaningless” and “unpatriotic” in a social media post after the June vote. He has repeatedly gone after GOP lawmakers who have voted in favor of constraining his war powers.
Here are all the Republicans that have voted to rein in Trump’s war powers in Iran since the start of the conflict.
“American servicemen and women are dying, and gas and fertilizer prices are soaring. It’s time to end this war,” Massie wrote on X following the passing of the resolution on Thursday, which he touted on his account.
Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick
Later, in April, he introduced his own resolution that proposed a phased-out withdrawal of troops.
Barrett supported Trump over the Iran War earlier in the conflict, voting against previous resolutions to restrict the President’s war powers and saying in early March that Trump had “earned the opportunity to resolve this conflict quickly and with minimal casualties.” He also praised the President’s killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei at the outset of the war.
“The United States of America cannot be dragged into another endless war,” he said at the time.
Rep. Warren Davidson
Davidson has had a less consistent record than other House Republicans on the issue, having voted “present” rather than “yes” and against previous resolutions as well as voting affirmatively for others.
“When American servicemembers are put in harm’s way, Congress should debate the mission, define the objective, and ensure our servicemembers know that their elected representatives have their back,” the page continues.
But the Maine lawmaker has since changed her tune. In addition to casting the sole GOP vote to advance the measure on Thursday, she was one of four Republican Senators who voted in favor of the war powers resolution that passed in the upper chamber last month. Trump called the group “four Republican Losers” in a Truth Social post at the time.
Collins has expressed her disapproval over the war in Iran since late April, referencing the 60-day deadline that Trump then passed over.
Sen. Rand Paul
Paul has voted in favor of each war powers resolution he has cast a vote on save one, for which he voted “present” to “give the President more space and leverage to negotiate a lasting peace,” he said on X.
"The war shouldn't have been begun without congressional permission,” Paul said in June. “I continue to vote to pull that power and to make sure that constitutional power remains with Congress.”
Trump called out Paul for calling him great but breaking with the rest of his party on one of the measures early in March.
The President also berated Paul and the other GOP senators who voted for the resolution that passed last month, after which Kentucky changed his vote to “present” on another such measure.
Murkowski also opposed earlier war powers resolutions, saying that Trump ought to receive congressional approval for military action in Iran, but that a full withdrawal would not be beneficial.
She also voted “no” on another resolution in April, though she said that the “answer is not a blank check for another endless war.”
She did not vote on the resolution on Thursday.
Sen. Bill Cassidy
“Until the Administration provides clarity, no congressional authorization or extension can be justified,” Cassidy said.
“Iran’s nuclear ambitions were not curbed, and they have learned that threatening the Strait of Hormuz works and will undoubtedly leverage it in the future,” he wrote on X in June. “Now, Iran gets to build brand-new infrastructure under this deal.”
He joined most of his Republican colleagues in voting against advancing the resolution on Thursday.
