House Votes on Libya

The House today approved a non-binding resolution expressing bipartisan frustration on Libya, demanding that President Obama give Congress a variety of information about U.S. involvement in the NATO mission against the Qaddafi regime.

Lawmakers also defeated a resolution offered by Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), which would have forced a withdrawal from that mission within 15 days.

The two votes avoided the direct issue of whether the Congress should authorize this mission or not.

Here are the vote breakdowns - first is the Boehner resolution which was approved, then the Kucinich plan.
