Summary
Thomas Massie said a new House vote to curb President Donald Trump's military operations in Iran could come within the next few legislative days or around Christmas, marking the fourth such effort this year.
Three Republicans — Tom Barrett, Warren Davidson and Brian Fitzpatrick — backed the last resolution, and GOP lawmakers including Mike Rogers and Jeff Van Drew said Massie is lobbying colleagues, with Van Drew estimating one or two more could join.
Massie framed the measure as a way for Republicans to break with Trump, while Democrats argued the party's 2026 midterm losses could loosen GOP support for the president's Iran policy.
No vote has been scheduled, leaving the effort as another test of whether Congress can reassert its constitutional war-making authority under the 1973 War Powers Resolution.
