Congress endorses limits on Trump’s actions against Iran

The House of Representatives of the US Congress, controlled by Democrats, approved on Wednesday a resolution limiting the powers of President Donald Trump in the use of armed forces against Iran. In mid-February, the Senate of the American legislature approved the initiative.

The initiative was approved by 227 congressmen, 186 legislators spoke out against.

Now the resolution is being sent to the head of state’s table, which, as the White House said earlier, intends to veto it. Democrats currently do not have enough votes in the Republican-controlled upper house of Congress to overcome the presidential veto.

The resolution obliges the president not to start military operations against Iran and on its territory until the US administration receives the appropriate permission from Congress, or an “imminent attack on the United States” occurs. If military operations against Iran have already been launched, the resolution orders the US administration to stop them within 30 days for the period until the approval of the legislators is received.

The author of the document was a former candidate for the post of vice president of the United States from the Democratic Party, Senator Tim Kane (from the state of Virginia). According to him, the resolution "is not directed against President Trump, it will be equally applied to any president." "The fundamental question is that Congress is responsible for the most important decision that we must make," Kane said.

In February, a Republican president on his Twitter page called on party members to vote against the resolution for national security. Her approval, Trump believes, "would be a very bad signal."

In January, the House of Representatives adopted a similar resolution, but it, unlike the current one, was not binding and was declarative in nature.
