Via Spectrum News: WASHINGTON — House Republicans on Thursday blocked Democratic lawmakers' attempt to pass a war powers resolution aimed at bringing a permanent end to the United States' conflict in Iran amid a shaky, temporary ceasefire.

Rep. Christopher Smith, R-N.J., who presided as speaker pro tempore, did not recognize Democratic Rep. Glenn Ivey when he tried to force a vote on the resolution. As Democrats yelled, Smith gaveled the pro forma session to a close.
