La Cámara aprobó este miércoles una resolución para limitar los poderes de guerra del presidente Donald Trump en Irán, una reprimenda significativa a Trump y a su manejo del conflicto.

Los demócratas han forzado repetidamente votaciones para limitar los poderes de guerra de Trump tanto en la Cámara como en el Senado, una campaña que ha ido ganando gradualmente más apoyo del Partido Republicano en las últimas semanas.

La medida, conocida como una resolución concurrente, aprobada por la Cámara el miércoles debe ser aprobada por ambas cámaras, pero no iría al presidente para que la firme.

La votación fue de 215 a 208, con los representantes republicanos Thomas Massie, Brian Fitzpatrick, Tom Barrett y Warren Davidson cruzando líneas partidistas para apoyar la resolución.

La resolución fue presentada por el representante demócrata de Nueva York Gregory Meeks, el miembro de mayor rango de la Comisión de Asuntos Exteriores de la Cámara.

Originalmente, esta votación estaba programada para el 21 de mayo, pero fue cancelada abruptamente por los líderes republicanos justo cuando los republicanos estaban a punto de perder la votación debido a ausencias. En ese momento, Meeks dijo a los periodistas que pensaba que el presidente de la Cámara, Mike Johnson, había estado retrasando una votación sobre la medida.

“Muchos de mis colegas republicanos están sintiendo la presión en casa cuando miran el costo de los alimentos, el costo de la gasolina”, dijo anteriormente a CNN. “(Johnson) está sintiendo presión. Está tratando de cubrir al presidente. (…) Pero creo que el tiempo en que él podía cubrir al presidente está llegando rápidamente a su fin”.

Antes de la votación del miércoles, Johnson defendió la oposición de algunos legisladores republicanos a restringir los poderes de guerra de Trump en Irán, advirtiendo que podría tener un impacto “muy negativo” en las negociaciones.

“Creo que es una perspectiva muy peligrosa quitarle a la administración y al comandante en jefe ahora mismo la capacidad de negociar. Eso es lo que esto hace. Esto, esto nos debilita, nuestra posición y nuestra influencia en la negociación de la paz en esa situación. La ‘Operación Furia Épica’ ha concluido”, dijo a CNN el miércoles.

Johnson afirmó que todos los objetivos de Estados Unidos en Irán estaban “bien definidos” y “logrados”, a pesar de que algunos legisladores, incluidos republicanos, expresaron interés en recibir más información de la administración.

“El presidente está ahora en el proceso de, de concluir un acuerdo de paz, y tenemos que permitirle el margen para hacerlo, y creo que una resolución sobre poderes de guerra en este momento es muy inoportuna, y algo muy, muy negativo y peligroso para el país”, dijo.

(CNN) — US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Wednesday that Americans who test positive for Ebola while under observation at a facility in Kenya could be sent for treatment in the United States in an apparent shift from the Trump administration’s position that no one with the virus would be allowed into the country.

“We’re not actually asking Kenya to set up treatment for Americans. I think the one that’s been very controversial is a misunderstanding. There is a facility that the Kenyans are allowing us to open. If there are any Americans that are exposed, potentially exposed, they will be transferred to this facility for observation,” Rubio told a Senate Appropriations subcommittee hearing.

“If they test positive at any time while in that facility, we will remove them from Kenya and send them to the nearest treatment facility, either in Europe or in the home – or in the United States, to be treated for Ebola,” he said.

He did not immediately provide further details.

The US facility in Kenya has faced significant backlash. Rubio said last week that “we cannot and will not allow any cases of Ebola to enter the United States.”

CNN has reached out to the Department of Health and Human Services and the State Department for further details on Rubio’s comments.

In guidance posted on its website, the State Department advises that if a US citizen is asymptomatic but at high risk for exposure, “State Department and U.S. embassy staff may arrange transportation to a facility in Kenya for a 21-day quarantine period from the last date of Ebola exposure, to include access to appropriate medical care provided by expert U.S. clinicians.”

“U.S. citizens who become symptomatic during quarantine may be transported via specialized aeromedical evacuation for appropriate treatment,” the Department said.

If a US citizen is symptomatic or tests positive, the guidance says, “State Department and U.S. embassy staff may arrange specialized aeromedical evacuation to a designated safe location for appropriate treatment.”

It does not give details on such locations.

(CNN) — The House passed a resolution on Wednesday to limit President Donald Trump’s war powers in Iran, a significant rebuke to Trump and his handling of the conflict.

Democrats have repeatedly forced votes to limit Trump’s war powers in both the House and the Senate – a campaign that has gradually picked up more GOP support in recent weeks.

The measure, known as a concurrent resolution, passed by the House Wednesday must be approved by both chambers, but would not go to the president to be signed.

The vote was 215 to 208 with Republican Reps. Thomas Massie, Brian Fitzpatrick, Tom Barrett and Warren Davidson crossing party lines to support the resolution.

The resolution was introduced by New York Democratic Rep. Gregory Meeks, the ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

This vote was originally set to take place on May 21, but the vote was abruptly canceled by GOP leaders just as Republicans were on the verge of losing the vote due to absences. At the time Meeks told reporters that he thought House Speaker Mike Johnson had been stalling a vote on the measure.

“A lot of my Republican colleagues are feeling the pressure back home when they’re looking at the cost of food, the cost of gas,” he previously told CNN.”(Johnson) is feeling heat. He’s trying to cover for the president. … But I think the time of him being able to cover for the president is rapidly ending.”

Ahead of the vote on Wednesday, Johnson defended some GOP lawmakers’ opposition to reining in Trump’s war powers in Iran, warning it could have a “very negative” impact on negotiations.

“I think it is a very dangerous prospect to take away from the administration and the commander-in-chief right now the ability to negotiate. That’s what this does. It, it weakens us, our position, and our leverage in negotiation on the peace in that situation. ‘Operation Epic Fury’ is concluded,” he told CNN on Wednesday.

Johnson claimed all of the US objectives in Iran were “well defined” and “achieved,” despite some lawmakers, including Republicans, expressing interest in receiving further information from the administration.

“The president is now in the process of, of concluding a peace agreement, and we have to allow him the latitude to do that, and I think a war powers resolution right now is very untimely, and a very, very negative, and dangerous thing for the country,” he said.
