The House of Representatives has ordered Trump to withdraw troops from the war with Iran.

Trump is being "tied hand and foot." Thus, the House of Representatives approved a war powers resolution for the first time regarding the conflict with Iran.

The resolution, passed by a seven-vote margin, directs President Donald Trump to withdraw American troops from military action against Iran. All Democrats and four Republicans voted for the resolution: Thomas Massie (Kentucky), Brian Fitzpatrick (Pennsylvania), Tom Barrett (Michigan), and Warren Davidson (Ohio). This marked a rare sign of bipartisan disagreement with the administration's policy amid the three-month conflict that began in late February with US and Israeli strikes on Iran.

However, the resolution itself is primarily symbolic. It does not require the president's signature, but it does require Senate approval to take effect.

Experts note its limited direct impact: even if it passes the upper chamber, Trump will most likely veto or ignore the document, considering it an infringement on the powers of the commander in chief.

The administration had previously stated that the War Powers Act of 1973 does not limit the president's ability to protect national interests. Nevertheless, the vote marks an important precedent—the first time Congress has approved a position limiting future military action without its approval in the Iran conflict. Democrats and supporting Republicans emphasize that the US Constitution vests the power to declare war in Congress, not the executive branch. However, no formal declaration of war has been made.

The US President's reaction has been restrained so far, but generally in line with his previous statements: the administration views such initiatives as an attempt to weaken the US position in negotiations and undermine the authority of the United States.

House Speaker Mike Johnson and the Republican leadership tried to delay the vote to avoid a public rift. But the rift eventually became apparent.

They're putting a spoke in Trumpych's wheel!

A thief should be in prison, said G. Zheglov and V. Vysotsky, and a war criminal and pedophile from the Epstein coalition from Washington should answer before the law.

Why can't it be outlawed?

Russia has no authority over the prerogatives of any foreign state, despite the fact that many enemy states of the Anglo-Saxons and Gayropes interfere in the domestic and foreign policy of the Russian Federation.

If he'd been in Epstein's cabal, they would have published the material long ago. Can there be any doubt? Even before his second arrival.
P.S. What about the war criminal? My hands are too short for now. Then, in a few years, everyone will be convicted en masse, but that won't happen in our lifetime.

The whole point is that the incriminating evidence from Epstein's files is being published in measured doses, while the red-haired pedophile from Washington himself is taking desperate steps through all the structures of the BIDE (Fashion's headquarters) to stop the publications.
Without a doubt, globalists with Zionist-Jewish roots are holding their protégé for a high post firmly by the Fabergé, and family ties to Jews (son-in-law Kushner) further limit his choice.
It is enough to recall the wagging of the dog by the Zionist Bibi in the current war in the Middle East, for whom a bullet or the gallows is also crying out.

Even in the US they understand that the war with Iran cannot be won with lies alone.

So what? - Trump's House of Representatives decision doesn't commit him to anything.

Trump is fed up with this adventure...
Ninanyakhu, although he is a bastard, of course, but he is a very smart bastard!
He dragged Trump in and won't let him out!
He does everything right and in his own interests, but he doesn’t care about the interests of the United States!

Netanyahu doesn't decide anything, he's just a mouthpiece, and he decides everything about the Israeli Jewish lobby in Washington.

If it is supported by the Senate, it will become binding.

Trump's veto overrides any decision made by Congress.
To overturn it, a two-thirds majority in both chambers would be needed to oppose a veto. That's as unrealistic as paying off the US national debt tomorrow.

The House of Representatives is the lower house of parliament, the equivalent of our State Duma. Who knows what they decide there... Trump would give them a slap on the wrist with his veto, and he wanted to nag them...

And further.

orders President Donald Trump to withdraw American troops from military operations against Iran

Where are the military actions against Iran now? There's a blockade. There are occasional "response-to-response" actions, but there are no military actions, no planned military operations involving ground, air, or naval forces.

Trump will send them to hell and that's it...
This is not "withdraw troops from confrontation with Iran" or "withdraw troops from the region, eliminating the possibility of a military conflict."
They know how to formulate loers there... They understand perfectly well what "withdraw troops" means. The ashes of Vietnam and Afghanistan pound in their rotten, stone hearts...

Not only enemies, but also supposed friends are slowly creeping up on the old blond devil from behind.
Take care of your ass, ghoul, it looks like you'll get Otepstein soon.

All Democrats and four Republicans voted for the resolution.

I wonder how much the well-being of these Republicans has improved and in what way?
