In a rebuke to President Obama’s involvement in Libya, the House on Friday voted to ban the use of ground troops in Gaddafi’s country and also demanded to see documents related to the president’s decision to intervene. Most Republicans and 45 Democrats supported the resolution, despite opposition from Democratic leadership. However, a separate measure brought up by liberal Democrat Dennis Kucinich that would have ended the conflict within 15 days was defeated. “This resolution puts the president on notice,” Republican Speaker John Boehner said, adding that he reserves the right to set up a vote that would defund the mission.
