Democrats to force vote on Iran war powers resolution

House Democratic leadership will force a vote on legislation to rein in President Donald Trump’s use of military force against Iran, as his administration undergoes negotiations with the Middle Eastern country.

Democratic leadership’s push to vote on the war powers resolution to check the president comes as the United States is building up the largest force of warships and aircraft in the Middle East, and Trump warned that military action against Iran is possible if talks over its nuclear program collapse.
