• House passes war powers resolution directing end to Iran hostilities — The House passed a war powers resolution directing the president to end U.S. hostilities with Iran absent congressional authorization. The vote was 215 to 208, with four Republicans—Thomas Massie, Brian Fitzpatrick, Tom Barrett, and Warren Davidson—joining every Democrat. The measure is a concurrent resolution, so its legal force is disputed, and it now moves to the Senate, but it puts the chamber on record after months in which similar efforts had been blocked or failed on tie votes.
• House advances Ukraine aid measure — Shortly after passing the Iran war powers resolution, the House advanced a measure to aid Ukraine in its war to repel Russia's invasion by a vote of 218 to 204. If the measure passes the House and Senate, it will provide $8 billion in loans and $300 million in security aid to Ukraine.
• House passes war powers resolution on Iran — The House of Representatives passed a resolution, introduced by Democrats, directing President Trump either to stop further strikes against Iran or to obtain congressional approval for military action. The resolution passed 215 to 208, despite Speaker Mike Johnson's warning that it was "very dangerous" and would "weaken" Trump's ability to resolve the conflict. The vote occurred after Johnson had sent House members home early before Memorial Day to prevent the measure from passing. According to a New York Times–Siena College poll, 64% of registered voters believe Trump's decision to go to war was wrong, while only 30% approve of it.
• US House passes war powers resolution to curb Trump's Iran authority — The US House of Representatives voted 215–208 to pass a war powers resolution requiring President Trump to seek congressional approval to continue military operations in Iran or withdraw US forces. Four Republicans voted with Democrats: Thomas Massie (Kentucky), Brian Fitzpatrick (Pennsylvania), Warren Davidson (Ohio), and Tom Barrett (Michigan). The resolution advances to the Senate, where a similar measure previously gained bipartisan support. The vote marks the fourth House attempt to enforce the 1973 War Powers Resolution's 90-day threshold, which Trump's administration has rejected by citing a ceasefire in place since April 8.
