House Democrats are preparing to pass a measure Thursday that would limit President Donald Trump’s ability to take military action against Iran.

It would only be a symbolic gesture by Democratic lawmakers, who have criticized the President for not consulting with leaders of both parties when he decided to order a drone strike that killed Iran’s top military leader, Gen. Qassem Soleimani . 

Republicans in the Senate are unlikely to approve the measure even if House Republicans fall short in their effort to oppose it.

Here's some good news:The cancer death rate in the US saw the largest one-year drop from 2016 to 2017, according to new data from the American Cancer Society. It's also the 26th year in a row that cancer deaths have declined. A large part of the trend is due to a sharp drop in deaths from lung cancer -- the leading cause of cancer death in the US.

In fact, researchers concluded the decline in death rate for four major cancers (lung, breast, prostate and colorectal) shows how far the medical field has progressed in treating the disease.
