A Democrat-backed measure to constrain President Donald Trump's ability to wage war with Iran has once again failed in the House of Representatives, just a day after a similar resolution was blocked in the Senate.
The House war powers resolution, which failed in a tight vote of 213-214, was largely symbolic, as it faced little chance of overcoming an expected presidential veto even if it had passed.
Most Republicans opposed the resolution in both chambers, though some lawmakers have signalled they could reconsider their position if the war extended beyond this month.
Trump has offered shifting timelines on the duration of the conflict, most recently saying the war was "close to over."
In the House vote on Thursday, Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky was the only Republican to side with Democrats in support of the measure, while Jared Golden of Maine was the lone Democrat to oppose it.
