Unlike Yemen War Powers Vote, House’s Iran War Powers Vote Not Binding

Unlike Yemen War Powers Vote, House’s Iran War Powers Vote Not Binding: The House’s vote on a War Powers Resolution on Thursday to restrict the president’s ability to take military actions with regard to Iran does nothing of the sort.

Instead, it is a purely political vote that has no actual legal or legislative teeth behind it, and will never make it to the president’s desk even if the U.S. Senate also passes it because of the way House Democrat leadership under Speaker Nancy Pelosi structured the resolution.
