US House puts off vote on Libya resolution
None
The House postponed a vote on a resolution demanding an end to US involvement in Libya amid fears that Democrats and Republicans would unite in backing the measure and handing President Barack Obama an embarrassing foreign policy defeat.
The Republican leadership had scheduled a vote Wednesday on the resolution by Rep. Dennis Kucinich, a Democrat, that "directs the president to remove United States Armed Forces from Libya ... not later than 15 days after the adoption" of the measure. The vote was delayed as the leadership and Obama administration realized frustrated lawmakers likely would support it. (AP)
