House votes again to end war in Iran in a rebuke to Trump

Original version ·

Congress just passed another resolution telling Donald Trump to wrap up the war in Iran, proving that sending strongly worded letters is still foreign policy.

The House just voted for the second time to end the war in Iran. Four Republicans actually crossed party lines to join Democrats, which in modern Washington is practically a miracle.

Here is the catch: the resolution is not legally binding. It is basically Congress writing a very formal note asking Donald Trump to stop, while he retains full authority to ignore it entirely.

Capitol Hill is officially using passive-aggressive sticky notes to conduct foreign policy.

    non-binding resolution is the political equivalent of a strongly worded email lol

    +6 solidNoting the rare sight of a politician actually doing something unexpected is worth a nod
