"In a bipartisan vote, the House of Representatives approved a resolution declaring that “the President has failed to provide Congress with a compelling rationale based upon United States national security interests for current United States military activities regarding Libya” while it rejected a more forceful resolution that would have directed the president to remove U.S. armed forces from Libya within 15 days of passage."
