Two resolutions on the Libya intervention failed in the House of Representatives today. One sought to authorize military action, while the other would have limited funding for the operation. Only eight Republicans voted for the authorization measure, and 89 Republicans joined with most of the Democratic caucus to defeat the defunding resolution.

One of the eight Republicans who voted for authorization, New York’s Peter King, said he is “disappointed” in his party’s vote on that resolution. “As Republicans, we should never be talking about the War Powers Act,” he said in a phone interview. “It’s a very isolationist type vote.”
