President Obama’s military plans in Libya were dealt a setback Friday when the Republican-dominated House of Representatives voted down an authorization for Obama to have the U.S. participate in the Libya conflict. The final vote was 295 to 123. The website Politico described the vote as a “historic rejection of a commander-in-chief at war.” But in another vote, the House did not agree to cut off funding for military operations.
