Rep. Subramanyam Statement on House War Powers Vote

April 16, 2026

WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Representative Suhas Subramanyam (VA-10) released the following statement after the Iran War Powers Resolution failed to pass by one vote:

“I just voted again to assert Congress's war powers authority. 

This President is spending billions a day on a war of choice that has only caused more problems in the region and raised gas prices here at home. Meanwhile, he cut health care and raised costs on Americans because he said we didn't have the money. 

Instead of blindly backing the President, the House GOP should join us to make life better for the American people.”
