Video: House Foreign Affairs Top Democrat Gregory Meeks after GOP leaders pulled the scheduled floor vote on his Iran war powers resolution: “We had a vote because of this president’s war of choice that was going to pass. We had the votes without question & they knew it, and as a result they’re playing a political game. They’re cheating & have delayed the vote until we get back.”
