House Rebukes Obama But Halts Libya Funding Action
The House voted 295 to 123 to deny Obama authority to wage war in Libya and rejected a separate bill to cut off funds. The measure would have halted drone strikes and airstrikes while allowing NATO support actions. The vote underscored concerns over open-ended U.S. involvement and War Powers issues with NATO operations in North Africa.
