A bipartisan group of lawmakers are, once again, trying to force a vote to revoke U.S. aid in the conflict in Yemen.
According to The Hill Monday, Democrat Representative Ro Khanna is reintroducing the War Powers Resolution. The measure would remove U.S. forces from Yemen, with an exception for those fighting terrorism as in accordance with the 2001 war authorization.
Representative Khanna introduced the same legislation earlier this year, but Republicans blocked the vote and said it wasn’t a priority. Nonetheless, aides working for Khanna said they expect to see a floor vote by the end of the year.

Meanwhile, a spokesperson for Republican House leader Paul Ryan has responded to Khanna’s latest request by saying the House has already acted on this question.
