House rebukes Obama over Libya - The Oval: Tracking the Obama presidency
The U.S. House rebuked President Obama over Libya policy today, voting down a proposed resolution that would grant him authority for the military operation against Moammar Gadhafi.
War critics defeated authorization by an overwhelming vote of 295-123, with 70 fellow Democrats going against the president.
House members are considering a resolution that would cut off some funds for the military operation, in protest of Obama's refusal to seek congressional approval for the action.
