Iran war set to blow past 60-day mark
The war between the U.S. and Iran is set to pass the 60-day mark, a key milestone in the War Powers Act, with some Republicans signaling hesitancy about allowing President Trump to continue unchecked. The Senate is set to vote on another war powers resolution as soon as Wednesday.
The war between the U.S. and Iran is approaching the 60-day mark, a key milestone in the War Powers Act. The Senate is set to vote on another war powers resolution on Wednesday, which would restrict President Trump from taking further action against Iran without congressional approval. Some Republicans, including Sens. Thom Tillis and Susan Collins, have expressed concerns about Trump's authority. The War Powers Act permits the president to deploy U.S. forces for up to 60 days without Congress's authorization. Tens of thousands of U.S. troops remain on a war footing in the region, costing U.S. taxpayers millions of dollars per day. The resolution's chances of passing are slim due to Republican opposition in the House and the president's veto power.
