## Resource

House votes第三次 to rein in Trump’s military powers in Iran as gas prices soar, with seven Republicans defying their party—citing military service and concerns over endless war. Disruptions in key oil routes like the Strait of Hormuz and Bab-al Mandab are fueling inflation at the pump. These lawmakers argue Congress must oversee war decisions, while the Trump administration calls the resolutions unconstitutional. This isn’t the first time Republicans have sided with Democrats on this issue—some have voted three times to curb executive power, reigniting debate over constitutional limits as midterms loom.
