Claudia DeSalvis, NPR News, the Capitol.
New York Democrat Gregory Meeks helped force the vote to end the Iran war that's now 90 days in.
He thanked the five Republicans who joined Democrats to get the war powers resolution over the finish line.
One of those Republicans, Pennsylvania's Brian Fitzpatrick, argued once a conflict passed the 60-day mark, it violated the War Powers Act.
For now, the vote remains symbolic.
Even if it were to pass in the Senate too, Trump would be able to veto it.
Claudia de Salas, NPR News, the Capitol.
Did you warn President Trump that this conflict would drive up costs?
The president and the full administration was aware that there would be consequences to action, but the consequences of Iran having a nuclear weapon were worse.
Did you warn him that launching a war in Iran could result in the regime placing a chokehold on the state of Hormuz?
All the risk factors were understood.
We were prepared for any response that came out.
Okay, just want to make sure.
