The U.S. House of Representatives voted to end the war with Iran, a move that challenges President Trump's handling of the conflict. Democrats argue Trump started the war without proper Congressional approval and that it's illegal. While this vote shows Congress's disapproval, President Trump will likely veto it. Overriding his veto would be very difficult. This debate is about who has the power to start or end wars in the U.S.: the President or Congress. People should watch to see if the Senate also passes this resolution and how Trump reacts, as it highlights a power struggle between the branches of government.

This explanation is simplified to help readers understand the story. It is not factual reporting and should be checked against the original source articles before being cited or shared.
