The House voted 212-219 against a war powers resolution to halt U.S. attacks on Iran without congressional approval, with four Democrats joining all but two Republicans to defeat it, a day after the Senate rejected a similar measure.
Why it matters
The narrow margin was an early sign of unease in Congress, though it left the administration free to continue the campaign.
