BREAKING: Trump vetoes measure to end U.S. involvement in Yemen war
In a break with the president, Congress voted for the first time earlier this month to invoke the War Powers Resolution to try to stop U.S. involvement in a foreign conflict.
"This resolution is an unnecessary, dangerous attempt to weaken my constitutional authorities, endangering the lives of American citizens and brave service members, both today and in the future," Trump wrote in explaining his veto. Many lawmakers also criticized the president for not condemning Saudi Arabia for the killing of Jamal Khashoggi, a Saudi who lived in the United States and had written critically about the kingdom. Khashoggi went into the Saudi consulate in Istanbul last October and never came out. Intelligence agencies said Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was complicit in the killing.
House approval of the resolution came earlier this month on a 247-175 vote. The Senate vote last month was 54-46.

The sun had just risen above the mountain ridge, and winter light filled the ravine where their mud brick house sat at the foot of a slope. 'Let me sleep,' Abdullah groaned from a mattress on the floor, surrounded by his brothers and sisters.
