US House approves resolution to end US role in Yemen war

“Passage of the resolution, approved previously by the US Senate, marks the first time the United States Congress has acted under the War Powers Act of 1973, a Vietnam War-era law introduced to curtail a US president’s deployment of US military forces without congressional approval.”

Congress doing its job! This is a truly remarkable Friday.

Given the epic scope of the humanitarian crisis in Yemen, we should make a lot of noise if Trump vetoes the resolution. We will also need to press Congress to override the veto.
