The House of Representatives passed a War Powers Resolution on Thursday to stop President Donald Trump from continuing U.S. strikes in Iran.

The final vote was 214-208, with four Republicans voting with Democrats. They included Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Rep. Warren Davidson of Ohio, Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Rep. Tom Barrett of Michigan.

The Senate will vote to bring a similar resolution the floor later on Thursday morning. Both chambers of Congress voted to advance War Powers resolutions in June, though they lacked the force of law.

Massie, the most recognizable Republican to cross the aisle, lost his primary in May to a Trump-backed challenger.
