In a significant legislative action, the House voted to repeal authorizations for the Iraq War, reflecting a growing movement to reassess U.S. military engagement in the Middle East. This decision saw Republican rebels joining Democrats in a rare display of bipartisanship, as Congress prepares for a vote on the repeal of presidential war powers related to the region. Despite pushback from House GOP leaders, who faced setbacks in the Rules Committee, the $892.6 billion Defense Policy Bill passed with amendments aimed at limiting existing war authorizations. The House anticipates a heated debate over foreign military involvement as it aligns more closely with public sentiment.
