Democrats divided over failed Lebanon war powers resolution
House Democratic leaders opposed a war powers resolution proposed by Rep. Rashida Tlaib to limit Trump administration military options in Lebanon, citing no U.S. troops in combat there. The resolution failed 91 to 324, with progressive allies supporting it, while Democratic leaders pledged to work with Tlaib on new legislation. Most Republicans opposed the measure, and a debate incident saw Rep. Max Miller's remarks about Tlaib removed from the record.
