So proud of GOPA wing, they are no less brilliant than GOP of 2003. Very non-blundering folks.

Iraq War Resolution

United States House of Representatives. 215 (96.4%) of 223 Republican Representatives voted for the resolution. 82 (39.2%) of 209 Democratic Representatives voted for the resolution.



In un-related news, there are rumors that closet to 39% Dems are supporting MAGA now.

"82 (39.2%) of 209 Democratic Representatives voted for the resolution."

A non-binding concurrent resolution, is not law, it's a glorified press release, i.e. a waste of time.

I think most non-binding resolutions are pointless. In this case it's being used to assert House's constitutional authority over the executive branch. That's never a bad thing.

And it could have political consequences. If Donald escalates further with Iran without Congressional approval, he was warned by the chamber which happens to have the sole power of impeachment.

We have to wait for Barbara Lee to write this up?

House has passed the resolution. Anyone got the roll call?

Next week the Senate will vote on better resolution than the House. We need 2 more GOP senators to pass it.

Anyone in Indiana needs to contact Sen. Young. He is undecided.

HR 2456 was the one sponsored by Massie and Barbara Lee. I don’t believe that even got a vote. Correct me if I’m wrong on that.
