House votes down effort to rein in Trump on Iran as GOP leadership says it’s not a war

The House voted 219 to 212 to kill a War Powers Act resolution introduced by Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.). All but four Democrats voted for the resolution and only one other Republican, Warren Davidson of Ohio, joined Massie, a frequent critic of Trump, in voting for it.
