The charge this time? Acting without congressional approval when he ordered military strikes on Iranian nuclear targets.
The final vote: 344 against impeachment, just 79 in favor.
128 Democrats crossed party lines to reject the resolution.
That’s not a small split.
A Strike to Protect, Not Politicize
President Trump launched the Iran strikes to dismantle what he described as an imminent threat.
He didn’t ask permission from Congress. He acted as commander-in-chief.
Critics call it an abuse of power. Supporters call it leadership.
For many, this is exactly what the presidency demands in a moment of danger: clarity, speed, and resolve.
The strikes didn’t violate international law, either. NATO said so plainly.
Democrats Split, Conservatives Steady
Rep. Al Green (D-TX) introduced the resolution. He claimed Trump’s actions were unlawful.
But even Democratic leaders pushed back. They didn’t want the vote. They knew it would fail.
Green’s move exposed something bigger than just political frustration. It showed a party at odds with itself.
Many Democrats wanted to focus on domestic issues: healthcare, taxes, inflation.
Impeachment? That’s old hat. And for voters outside Washington, it’s not the issue keeping them up at night.
Third Time Wasn’t The Charm
This marks Trump’s third impeachment vote in the House.
Not one has succeeded.
At what point does persistence become obsession?
The War Powers Debate
At the heart of this conflict lies the War Powers Resolution of 1973. It says presidents must get congressional approval for military actions that last more than 60 days.
But there’s room for interpretation. The law leaves space (what some call a “twilight zone”) where the president can act in defense of national interests.
That’s where Trump made his stand. His team argued the strikes were limited, legal, and urgent.
Most of Congress agreed.
Allies Reassured, Adversaries Warned
America acted decisively. Our allies respected the move. Our enemies took notice.
Peace through strength. When our enemies believe we will act, they’re less likely to provoke.
A Message for the Left
After the vote, many turned to a new plan: a bipartisan War Powers resolution. Reps. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Thomas Massie (R-KY) are pushing to tighten limits on military action.
And sure, that’s their right. Congress should have a voice.
Still, do we need to weaken our own hand in a growingly dangerous world?
We need resolve, not red tape.
Another Political Misfire
This vote was a failed impeachment, and a failed strategy.
It divided Democrats. It energized conservatives.
Impeachment failed because the case wasn’t there. Most lawmakers knew it, and so did the public.
In the end, sober judgment won out over political passion.
